I have an amd Sempron 64 2.00ghz with the 128mb cache. It's great basically, its overclocked to 2.4ghz no problem,. Will beat the intel by far, even if the intel was 50 quid cheaper i wouldnt buy it, get the amd! My mum has the intel one, i do't really like it, its to slow for me. It depends on what you want the computer for really! Just read your post carefully, if thats all you want it for then get the intel!
