he is probably being fooled by the common misconseption that an AMD running at 1.8 Ghz is the same speed as an Intel running at 1.8 Ghz. Well that is not the case. AMD's do more work per clock cycle than the Pentium's.
Say an AMD runs at 1.8 Ghz, that is about the same as an intel running at 2+ Ghz.
With that out of the way, both companies have comparable speeds at around the same price.
I would have to agree with both Laserath and iamii and go with the AMD 64 bit chip. What type of video card and ram are you running. I would think a 1.8 Ghz P4 would be sufficient given enough ram and the right video card.
