Intel is the way to go my friend! First of all, Intel contains MMX. Instruction code in which AMD doesn't have. AMD's had and still have 3/4 the code a Pentium would. I can say this with confidence since I used to have a machine (still do, just rebuilt) that originally had an AMD, it crashed all the time. It couldn't perform well. I just rebuilt it and rather AMD, I put a Pentium III and it has been running smoothe and fast since, not one crash yet! So, take my word, go INTEL! (Not to mention they invented the microprocessor)</font>
I wasn't gonna get back into this, but I can not STAND a person who backs up his or her opinon with flagrant technical inaccuracy. WHich decade are you living in? FIrst of all, Intel may have invented the microprocessor (the 4004, for a japanese calculator) but guess who produced them for Intel, way back when? AMD! And I have 2 AMD 8088 CPUs to prove it. Second, where did you get the idea that AMD cpus didn't support MMX? They have since the K6-2, supported MMX...and this INCLUDES the Athlons and Durons. Check out the specifications of the processor you are about to attempt to insult, and stop trying to insult our intelligence. AMD not only supports MMX, but a set of SIMD extensions called 3DNow...they INVENTED SIMD extensions for 3D! Long before Intel had anything beyond MMX!
