To add to the other replies.
If the heatsink/fan fails on an AMD, it will most like 'fry' and be ruined.
If the heatsink/fan fails on an Intel, it will most like just go into its
'Fail-Safe' type mode and run much slower, but not fry.

Hi,

I have always bought Intel before but now that AMD is at least as
powerful that Intel but at a better price, I am thinking about getting
AMD.
Now I wonder, is there things that Intel can do that cannot be done with
AMD? Is there a difference in the quality of Intel and AMD? Does AMD
work
with every computer components such as different makes such as all kinds
of
graphic cards? Does it can run any kind of softwares just as Intel?

Thanks,

Richard
