Who cares if the Intel chips are faster in some benchmarks? The results are
so close, but the AMD's can run 64-bit software, which the Intel's cannot.
Many are already running 64-bit software - either Linux or beta Windows64.
Why buy a chip that only supports 32bit, for the same price as one that does
32&64 well.
Also Windows XP SP2 has enhanced AV capabilities with the AMD64 chips...
