From what I have read recently, AMD has surpassed INTEL, especially for gaming.

slightly off topic, but I find it continuously funny that Intel originally licensed its cpu technology to AMD from the beginning. Thats how AMD started... then of course AMD went and made their own cpu and intel got mad, sued them, lost, and here we are today. Ahhh life sure is funny.

I use mostly AMD cpu's but Intel has their Conroe dual core Cpu shipping in july that as tests have shown already that it will be significantly faster then AMD. At least till AMD releases their next range of cpu's in 2007. AT least thats what i've read so far.

But for me it's about price point. Sure it will be faster, bit no more stable and just cost more.

Might as well be a hundred years ago. But the fact remains, AMD is still king of gaming.

I <3 AMD

I have a AMD 64 4000+ San Diego, never gave me any Crap. Considering Pentiums haven't even surpassed 800FSB whereas AMD is like in the 2000 ball park.

1066 MHz FSB

And A64's technically don't have a FSB since the memory controller is embedded on die, so in essence the FSB runs at the frequency of the CPU. You may be thinking of the HyperTransport speeds, which are currently at 2000MHz.
