    Intel chips, while more commonplace in store-bought computers, still do not measure up to the performance and reliability of AMD.
    Let's drop the act. :)

    Intel CPUs are just as reliable as AMD, if not more. AMD CPUs rely on motherboard logic to stop overheating and subsequent fires/melting, Intel CPU's have them built in. AMD CPUs are FAR more likely to crack/shatter installing HSFs due to how the sockets are designed, too. Your reliability argument is simply nonexistant.

    As for performance, there are instances where the Pentium 4 is king, there are instances where the Athlon XP is king. There's no clear performance leader.

    Athlons are cheaper, but take some shortcuts. Still damn fast, still damn cheap. Lots of people love that.
