When comparing, don't be biased by AMD's (deceptive, IMO) "model numbers". I.e. if you compare a 2.2GHz intel and a 2200+ AMD, you will be disappointed with the performance, since the AMD 2200+ is a 1.5GHz processor.

I've never used AMD because of this practice. It seems Intel is getting into this now with their part numbers, such as 520, 530, etc. The first digit being 5 implies they are faster than AMD's models which begin with 2 or 3.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has a preference between AMD and Intel for a MythTV box.

I will be running two HD-3000 cards and probably an nVidia graphics card with DVI out to a HDMI device in 720p.

So, do you prefer AMD 64? Intell with Hyperthreading? And what would I look for as the minimum speed i would need to do this?

Thanks!
