I had a intel and now AMD my AMD is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay stabile then Intel when I had intel my windows crashed much....with AMD it's much better no crashes or shit.

Also AMD made possible to play some games with a weak 3D-card I know if that was a Intel it would be impossible, it is known that AMD is preferred for gaming pc's and intel is better for "work pc's".
Alltough now they are saying that the dual core is pwning the AMD64 really hard....

Hope AMD comes up with smt to counter the dual core as I am getting a new system in the summer....

GO AMD!!!! you can do it!!!

Intel all the way.

Of course I also prefered 3Dfx over nVidia before they went out of business.

AMD Turion 64 x2 is what my laptop uses, and I love it

I just want to know which is better, ATI Radion xpress 1100 or ATI Radion 200m

I didnt know the difference, I ended up buying one with the 1100.

When in doubt go with the higher number.

AMD had a technology lead on Intel for the past couple years.  This June that lead was erased when Intel released Core 2 which put all AMD offerings to shame.  A mid-range Core 2 beats out AMD top end Athlon FX in all senerios.  Next month Intel releases it's quad core cpu which AMD will hope to match only some time next year and by that time Intel will have moved to their 45 nm process putting AMD back even more.  AMD has lots of work to do.  I've had AMD chips since the K7 but now Intel all the way and they get my vote.

AMD ain't as good anymore.  So Turion X2 just aint as good.    Read why. (http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/08/22/amd_dual_core_laptops_have_arrived/)

I'm not saying your laptop is no good.  I'm sure it's great.  Compaq?

i have 2 laptops, an asus a4 with pentium4 and a Dell with turion. I must say the turion one is really better, anyway the 2 laptops have almost the same charateristics.

AMD or intel ? its not a competition, it all depends on what you want too use it for. But I say AMD simply because they rock. And intel are dieing a slow death.

lol I wonder where you get your information from.  AMD and Intel cpus are targeted towards the exact same market segments.  Currently Intel cpus are superior.  There is no debating this fact.  This is a change from the past 2 years where AMD cpus have been superior.  Before that Intel cpus were superior.  Plus your comment about Intel dying seems off, unless by your definition of dying you mean being the vast market leader in cpu and graphics technology.

AMD is an innovative bunch however and I wouldn't count them out especially after the acquision of ATI, I expect good things in the future.  But to expect the behemoth company that Intel is to roll over and die is foolishness and right now they are sticking it to AMD.

But you wont' be able to get any since they are all gone :P
Also AMD loses money since they are selling out at a lower price point.  Demand is high enough to justify a minor price increase.

I got a new dual core yesterday. Mate of mine who owns the shop has more than he needs and apparently every time I go in there theres something new slightly dearer with far more power.
