Intel or AMD

What is your preference Intel or Amd and why; you can vote for both as well :)

Now thats gonna start a flame war.

It can also help people that are planning to build a computer decide on the which processor to buy.

I typically go with whichever processor provides the best bang for the buck at the time. My laptop is an Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processor as it takes the least power and provides the best battery life. My desktop is an Intel 9550 quad core. My primary Linux desktop box is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ and my server box is an AMD Sempron 64 2800+. So, as you can see, I'm spread quite evenly.

I am jealous of your wire management....how do you do it that well?

#1). Good case with space behind the mobo to hide cables
#2). Modular Power Supply Unit where I can use minimal cabling
#3). Lots of time spent routing cables, taping them off, and making them look neat.
#4). A little luck

You didn't cut any holes on the motherboard tray?
Wire management on my Antec 900 is somewhat difficult, but luckly, I have a modular power supply

Right now Intel, but way down deep
I'm an AMD fan.Last few machines were AMD
as a matter of fact my son is running my old
AMD box.
