    Or if you play games, rip DVDs only occasionally to H.264 rather than doing it 24/7 as a job, don't mind the extra few measly seconds of waiting to retouch a photo, don't want to buy a new motherboard each and every single time you upgrade your processor, want to save money buying CPU/mobo/ram up front, and don't want to help a callous, monopolistic company snuff out its only remaining competitor so they can jack the price of CPUs back up to $1000 per unit, then you (and probably most of us) are better off going AMD.
