I disagree.. You can go wrong with AMD... I've built hundreds of computers in the past few years (yes hundreds, owned a small computer company for a couple of years on top of my computer hobby).
AMD , while cheaper, tend to have a much higher death rate than intel processors. I've had to replace several at home, the XP line in particular have been extremely shoddy, and have serious heat problems.
I would rate AMD's as fair, price wise these not as much difference these days between Intels and AMD's, but in all fairness I've found the longevity of INTEL far outperforms AMD processors. Speedwise, I doubt you'll see too much of a difference between the 2 these days...
I'd say if you're looking to save a dime, go with AMD, if you're looking to have something that will last, go with Intel
