I've have used both Intel and AMD dual core processors. By far, the Intel handles overclocking better, and Windows XP runs much smoother. The few extra $'s are worth it.

Quite informative this survey.
I've used AMD processors except for the very first PC a decade ago that had an Intel P-166 in it.
There is an ongoing war of performance that Intel seems to win most of the time by small margins. For me, the value seems to suggest AMD as the better deal.
