As much as I'd like to support AMD/ATi, I'd choose Intel over AMD and nVidia over ATi when I'd buy myself a new computer. I'm on a AMD Athlon 2400+ here and I'm absolutely happy with it. And honestly, I could live with the fact that performance-wise none of the AMD CPUs is on par with their Intel counterpart. But I can not understand why they are consuming so much more power then compared to the Intel CPUs. And that's an important point for me to consider! Therefore, why should I choose a AMD system when I can get a Intel system for almost the same price that offers me way more performance but is less power consuming at the same time!
And talking about graphic cards, well, I got a nVidia card when I had to buy a new one because I had so much trouble with my ATi card back then. I never had a problem since then and I'm very happy with the nVidia card. Therefore, I'd go for nVidia again. The only graphic card that sounds interesting to me is the new Radeon HD 4850. But then again, thinking about Radeon and ATi drivers brings up bad memories.
