well lemme tell u d whole true story-

u ve not heard wrong abt amd being heated up to death....practically speaking, i know 5 friends in my group who have melted amd processors....they took around yr 2000 (500-600MHz)...latest was 1500+ or somthin like dat which suffered hanging problems due to overheat as twas kept in a warmer place....comparing that to intel i ran p3 500mhz for 6 mnths with an unproper functioning fan...that was d power of p3....infact finally it did give up..still 6 mnths is not short. that time amd was nowhere close to competition.

but coming to current issue...amd have taken a big step to success by overclocking there their speed and reducing their heating issue....climbing up n finally overtaking intel.....n now finally they r up ahead with their launch of 64bit cpu's n currently rulling....

so the moral is u r correct wat u heard but for now...u sud go for amd 64 for its excellent speed n better price

cheers
