Bang for buck the AMDs rock. Intels are way overpriced for the comperable power. However, the T-Bird series run quite hot and while a Intel will shutdown given a certain temp, the AMD will fry itself quite spectacularly.

Having owned both, I prefer the AMD though - it's cheaper to upgrade later on. I just dropped a Volcano HSF on my T-Bird 1.4 and it stays fairly cool (52-54 degrees).
