Intel P4 vs. AMD XP what's the deal?
Posted by Brian Frank

From an enthusiast and home user's standpoint, I'll say what I've said before: I don't believe the chipset matters as much. For critical applications and servers, heck, even any business machine, I'd be rather wary of anything outside of Intel. I'm a Via man @ home, but depending on where I land a tech job (PC shop or some company) may mandate in some way that Intel chipsets be used. I believe that you cannot go wrong with Intel at any point, but there are some places where anything but Intel is inappropriate. Clutch has been very good at laying out the points about Intel chipsets. If I had his experience, I'd probably be in the same position. Right now, I don't care so long as it's working well for what I do.
