3000 freakin' dollars? What the hell do you plan on buying? And what are you talking about? Are you gonna go in and buy a CD Burner that is somehow aimed at working with Intel but won't even work with AMD? Does that even exist?

For everyone else, I think its pretty simple.

Encoding/Ripping ... Intel
Value ... AMD
Gaming ... AMD (for same price as intel generally much faster framerate)
High End have money to burn ... Intel w/ hyperthreading and overclock the crap out of it since you should be able to afford another one if you can burn this much money in the first place.

Stability... both... buy a good freakin' motherboard and heatsink... you idiots talking about amd's lighting on fire have to be retarded to actually disable your motherboard monitoring, heatsink, etc. Buy lots of fans... both are very good chips and very stable.

Your typical user is gonna get much more out of AMD for general use, since 90 bucks gets you either a Peintium IV 1.5 or an AMD 2500+ 333 mhz FSB Barton.

AMD is a VALUE, which is why people buy it.
It is the 99 cent whopper of the cpu world--it is Burger King, whereas the average consumer knows the name MacDonalds and consumes there, even though the Big Mac costs 2x as much.
They both get you the same amount of calories, just taste a little different.
