hmm..the AMD vs. Intel debate...not gonna go there.
I use AMD. Why do I use AMD, well its a pertty good value for the performance.

good prices, great customer service, fast shipping

you'll never get a good answer on AMD vs. intel. I also like AMD but that's probably because I've been building with them for 4 years now. AMD does have some killer deals if you know which chips are good. The AMD barton 2500 is an awesome sleeper chip. I've got mine clocked to 3200 specs with no increase in voltage at all.

amd simply cuz its cheaper

i do intel because i always have and i've had bad experiences with the other guy.

AMD is way cheaper than Intel. it heats up more and you need good cooling performance to have stable system, you can buy good quality heatsink and fan to help that.

AMD all the way - it's cheaper

I love my 2500+ Barton with Nforce2 chipset

The last Intel chip I bought was a Pentium 200 with MMX extensions
