Well I would say that in gaming AMD is ok but for many things that are more number crunching like zip compression, video compression, etc it goes amd MHZ = intel MHZ. If you look at it that way intel is actually cheaper. There was a site a little while back that did a complete comparison MHZ to MHZ and AMD did win but their chip was MUCH more.
Personally I use XP 2500+ and overclock it to 3000 speeds and I am more that happy. Although to do so you need to have plenty of airflow, my 8 fans tend to help that.
