There are so many arguments and opinions on whether AMD or Intel processors are better?

Here we have two similar processors - but one is the... AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600... The other is the... Intel Core 2 Duo E6400...

So which is the better one... considering Speed, Power Consumption, Noise Levels, Graphics and overall Performance etc etc?

Who's the Winner?

I had to reformat my hard drive and install Windows XP all over again, but now when it boots up, it waits with a message boot from CD, but then it boots from the hard drive anyway. Is there a way to eliminate this problem?

It's printing things slower, as in the period of time between clicking "Print" and the printer starting to print has lengthened. It used to take a few seconds, now it takes a few minutes. What's wrong with it? Is is the printer or the computer? What should I do?
