Real world experience makes me lean to AMD. We've got four Dell P4 2.4's at work and I think my year-old+ Athlon XP 1900 at home kicks their asses (note: 256meg DDR ram in all systems). While they are all OK for their purposes, the Intels just "feel" a step slower.
In regard to the original poster's query: if the 800MHz FSB Intel fits your budget, buy it and love it. If not, buy the fastest AMD you can afford. Whichever you get, cool the hell out of it!
