Intel or AMD? Nvidia or ATI?

[NotMyRealAccoun]

In your opinion which one is better for each question? I prefer Intel and Nvidia. I would say that they make the greatest products, because ATI and AMD create any shit just to be "on the top", while Intel and Nvidia make better quality products by letting them release their products and create one better.

My system is the exact opposite, Intel and ATI combo and it is more than brilliant enough for me. i'd be happy with any combo as long as it works fast enough though.

AMD over Intel. I won't start speculating which one is better, ATI or nVIDIA. Both are equally good and equally bad in certain things.

I have to had it to ATI though that their drivers have improved tremendously over the years.

If I were to build a machine /right now/ I'd likely go with AMD, using an AMD64. As for the video, it'd be nvidia. Why? Because their drivers have always seemed more stable and their support for linux is a lot better.

For my purposes, they are all good.

I prefer using AMD over Intel, and I prefer Nvidia gfx cards.

I prefer intel and Nvidia. People usually go for AMD since the performance is almost the same and come a lot cheaper. Usually when u buy a AMD the first thing you think about is overclocking it. But AMD has got this reputation quite recently so i still don't trust them.

The best end user processor out there right now, is the athlon 64. So amd is the winner for now.
My preference is AMD and nVidia. AMD any day, since they are a lot cheaper than intel and nvidia, well... I never really have used ATI, and I know nVidias cards better, that's all.

I'd love to get an AMD anthlon 64. I also prefer nvidia over ati.

Yeah but intel is the mother of the xeon and ittanium so
