Then as I got more money AMD ended up on top so I got AMD again and it was cheaper and faster than intel, sweet. Now I have like no money again due to other things going on and AMD isn't on top anymore but the price is good, kind of like deja-vu from at first.

I had intel for the pentium 200MMX CPU, then it was AMD up until my s754 3000+ when I sold my desktop and got a laptop which had an intel P-M in it (dothan I think it was). I noticed it had this "lag" so to speak about it that I could catch only when listening to music (the music would hiccup). Sold the laptop later went back to a desktop with a 939 AMD 3700+ and hiccups went away. Odd.

I've changed my CPU only once since then, when I got my opteron. I'm actually upgrading less now than I was back in the old K6-2 days.
SOMEONE GIVE HIM MORE MONEY PLEASE!

haha, well like everyone else, its price vs performance. ever sincei assembled my first pc, it was AMD all the way.im a gamer and i dun see any performance differences from a C2D and my venice 3k at 2.2ghz so whats all the hoohaa that people have been talking about with the performance gap?

and im getting a k10 it seems, kind of itchy to get a new rig! and btw, funnyperson1 inspired me to limit my spendings to 150 on each component haha
