Title says it all.

I figure, if you consider something like the AMD Phenom X4 9850BE pretty much equal with the Intel Q6600 for practically the same price, what was it that made you chose Intel over AMD?

When looking into it, it seems like the factors could include overclocking headroom, platform/motherboard superiority, and brand preference.

If there are other reasons, please by all means let's hear them!

I think this should provide for some interesting discussion.
