I plan on sticking with them too. AMD outclocks Intels in gaming, and that's what I use my machines for.
I ran Jedi Outcast on my 650mhz Athlon. And I bought that in 1999 and didn't have to upgrade till 2003. Intels are overpriced, they need to stop being so cocky.
More times then not I love the underdog. Espically when he is cheaper and offers a great product.

Reps: 238 (power: 0) | | | Let me add a little twist, I think that Intel is probably a better quality chip, slightly faster and longer lasting....but the question I find myself asking is how much better?! $$$
Not enough for me to pay that much more, and because of that I have been buying AMD since the K6-2 and will probably continue to do so, so long as I can get more for my money. I've had no reliability issues and longevity is far more determined by the advancement of technology then it is physical function, so most likely I will be replacing my AMD for a more updated processor long before it bites the bullet.

<-----doofus giggles like a little school girl at the thought and anticipation of buying an Intel Processor, hehehehe
Intel will be the only processor I will ever use and it's the only processor that I put in systems when I was builing them and if I ever build systems again on my own Intel will be my first and only choice......  |

Me either. Though many of my intel friends can't seem to stop having issues. With the money I save off the chip I get to spend more on a nicer motherboard and high quality ram.
