I cant really answer that question for you. It really depends what you want to do. If you had asked what brand of cpu is your favourite I would have said AMD

Where's Cyrix? VIA? IDT? NextGen?(AMD before they knew they were AMD)

SGI? Sun? Alpha? Motorola?

Cray? Fujitsu?

Beowulf Clusters? Distributed Computing?

The Unconscious Collective? God?

I wanted to narrow down the choices, so i simplified it to the three biggest leaders in the market today. Sorry if I have offended anyone with my lack of choices.

Hehehe It's interesting how in a group of people who actually know what's going on, almost all like AMD over Pentium. Imagine if you guys represented the whole consumer base. Poor Intel would go out of business in a week.

they'd go out in a week, and next thing you know, AMD would start kicking out pieces of crap, and upgrade their flaming piles less often, therefore resulting in slowed graphics potential, and games would actually be able to catch up to state of the art Potential.

I find it pretty funny that AMD is crushing Pentium thus far in this pole, more than likely because AMD fans were attracted to the poll to protect their holy ground
