I personally go for AMD as much as possible. My personal desktop is an Athlon64 3000 chip and I CAN overclock it, I got a mobo that has every speed/voltage setting you can think of, I just don't know squat about overclocking and have been to lazy to figure it out. Other machines of mine include an Athlon XP Pro 2600+, Athlon T-Bird 1400, Duron 750 (my personal production server), Pentium 3 600mhz (BitTorrent and FTP on my home conenction), Athlon XP 2100 and Athlon Duron 1ghz lappy's.

I have a P4 2.4 ghz at work and the thing sucks ass. It's a Dell, not a home brew, so I'll give Intel the benefit of the doubt, but I can't see spending $400 on board and chip to achive 3ghz when I can spend $240 on an board and AMD chip at 2ghz and not notice a real difference. I don't encode movies or do music production, so I don't see the benefit of getting Intel.
