AMD has consistently provided better performance / $. At times they even provide better absolute performance. AMD, without contracts from the likes of Dell have to earn their sales. Incidently, they have hired LSU EEs in the past. I've never regretted an AMD board computer.
Last weekend reminded me of how good AMD is. I bought an 800 MHz PIII to replace my wife's old 450 MHz K6/2. The new computer had an integrated AGP card and 256MB RAM, twice the old machine's. The performance gain was real, but not what I expected. If your not concerned now, Intel won't work for you later. The goal of anti-competitive paractices is to not have to pay for research and use the difference to hand yourself a big fat bonus.
