I personally recommend the AMD over the Intel line of chips for several reasons:

  • Price. Generally the AMD chips are about 10-25% cheaper.
  • Performance. They are every bit as good, if not slightly better, than Intel.
  • Compatibility.

If you are building your own machine, then I would suggest going with a 64-bit AMD chip to be prepared for the future. Make sure you have a good power supply and fan, as the AMD's do run a bit hotter than Intel.
