    Megahertz are not the be-all and end-all of PC performance ratings. In basic terms, AMD processors do more with each clock cycle. That's why AMDs model number for the processor is more than the actual clock speed, it's a reference to the equivalent Intel chip.

    My opinions:
    Intel makes excellent, top notch chips. I work in IT and I have seen a grand total of ONE defective Intel processor in the thousands of PCs I've worked on.

    AMD also makes excellent chips, and are a very, very good value. My current machine is an AMD Athlon XP1800 and it has never given my any trouble, and have not had any problems playing any games. My next machine will almost certainly be AMD again, because the value is absolutely excellent.
