As I promised, I have the results of the little poll that I took (look further on in the CPU section)earlier.
Before I list the results, I'll give you the rules by which I scored the posts.
If the person said "both" or "intel and amd", I scored one for each as I am not able to favor one manufacturer over the other.
If the person said "3 amd and 1 intel" or the like, I gave it to amd as it is more likely that they have a faster amd system even though they did not tell me which one was faster.
If they said "1 T-bird @800MHZ and 3 intel @200MHZ" I gave the score to AMD as the fastest system is an AMD system.
Results:
AMD=37
INTEL=28
Now I know there was more posts but it got into a flame war and I did not count any of the posts that did not at least come close to the rules that I laid down in my originating post.
Lastly, of the people who's main system was Intel, 10 of them said there next system would be AMD's.
Of the people who said AMD, zero of them said there next system would be Intel.
Hope this settles the mystery of why there are more posts about AMD on this site. I don't know if this site attracts AMD users or if more clone builders like AMD over Intel but at least we know who won.
I posted this message after I did not receive any replies to my original post for 3 days. I will not be updating this post so if someone replies to it now, it's for there sake only.
