My take on this is Intel. Not that I am a fanboy, I have a AMD and Intell runing side by side. My Intel has less cooling, runs at a lower temp, and if the fan on the heatsink goes out, I wont be the least bit worried. AMD's are cost effective yes... but in the end you will close the distance in the price of fans and power consumption to run the fans which makes cost not that much of a factor. Aside from Cost, I dont see that AMD has any more advantages over Intel, Intels ability to run at cooler temps more efficently to me is worth the added cost. AMD makes a great chip, but for the extra 30-40 bucks I'll piss it away on Intel
