Just wondering, i haven't built a system with an Intel chip for a long time.... cant say that i do or i dont...as like u havent used intel since my duo core2 processor...intel machine was put together when someone gave me bunch of old junk pcs..that i put eveythin together to build one decent machine..than i made my first build..cause my buddy suggested i try out amd phenom2 black edition quad core..once i did that i fell in love with it..havent look back to intel ...however i have done some research that intel I5 and i7s are better for the most part...im under the impression that they benchmark way higher than anything amd puts out as amd has fallen behind in the newer tech..so for me i guess it just depends on ur preferences and what u like and want out of a pc..for me im using the amd 4100 amd3+ soc processor its 3.4 ghz..and ive had no issues with it..no i wsant much help but think i ll just stick with amd as they are more economical where intel tends to be more pricey i paid virually only 98 us dollars for my cpu..where intel cheapest i5 at time was like 179 us dollars..i was buildin me and my wife a machin so had to keep price reasonably ...i havent regreted it yet...if i had to do all over again i would chose same thing i already did LordOfChaos 1
