AMD V.S. Intel

AMD for gaming when tweaked properly(this can be argued to no end I know because I usually am on the other side of the fence) because they are easier to OC but out of box have much less performace than Intel, plus DDR works better with AMD and is cheaper, but RAMBUS RAM makes Intel's fly but is very pricy.

I would say the other way around for those statements, intel for gaming while amd is good for office (although both good preformance overall). Also intel are much easier to OC than AMD out of the box. AMD do not have much less performance than intel. DDR works just as well with intel (especially Granite Bay), RDRAM is just about dead with intel.

working on these machines @ work... I may have to agree here... though for multiple tasks... HT enabled cpu's may end up actually being more productive as more and more apps are written with calls in them for that feature...

and then there is hypertransport coming up as well
