i'm back to amd after a short stint with intel.

i've always found the amd platform much more stable.

this article describes what I've experienced in the systems. although I cannot call myself a die hard amd fanatic, this observation from anandtech sums up my experience with amd and intel and partly explains why i find the amd platform much more stable.

When it came to actual game play experiences, we thought the Phenom II 940 was clearly the better choice in Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts and Crysis Warhead due to minimum frame rate advantages and fluidity of game play. In the five other titles, we could not tell any real differences in the quality of game play between the Phenom II 940 and Core 2 Quad Q9550. Except for Far Cry 2 where we could raise the graphic quality settings without affecting game play, the i7 platform was no different than our two other solutions. "

Advantages of Intel over AMD are not really significant enough for day to day usage. Its only a marketing plot for Intel.
