First of all, ignore anyone who makes sweeping generalizations like "AMD heats up to quickly", because there are so many different variables and have been so many different chips produced by both it is not even funny. You would need to compare one model of processor to another... etc.
From my experiences, modern AMD systems seem to perform better even when the benchmarks say otherwise... of course, that is just my experience, and that may change with each generation.
Both AMD and Intel have very good track records and perform well these days. AMD's architecture still gives them an advantage in many cases, but Intel has finally passed them up with the Core 2 Duo chips... and I am sure AMD will be right behind them.
If you really want to compare chips, etc, you can find great hardware review sites like www.tomshardware.com that can help.
I recommend AMD, usually, as you most often end up ahead of the game. AMD also was the first to come up with the modern "x64" architecture, that was then copied by Intel, and the first x86 processor to support the "NX" bit to help prevent buffer-overrun attacks in the hardware itself.
But, you really can't go wrong either way.

Put it this way, AMD CPU's are famous for having cheap (in price, not quality) processors with more cores than Intel. Intel's are better for single operations, and AMD processors are better for multi-tasking. (not always true) It's really up to you and what you need. Don't be swayed by people claiming "INTEL IS BETTERzZ" with no facts, when it depends on what you need. I personally have a AMD Phenom II X6 1055T (6 core processor, oc'd to 3.5ghz) because I multitask all the time. I make videos, surf the web, and play games. Sometimes all at once.

Nope. I ran benchmarks on Intel and AMD on 2 same comps (the only diffrences were the motherboard(socket) and the processor (Intel and AMD)). AMD sweeped Intel on the benchmark. Bottom line is if you play PC games get AMD,but if you plan in to use it as a office computer that is connected via LAN with more users get Intel. Personally i have AMD and i'm connected to many people and i don't see the difference between office and games in processor. Heat and stuff like that depends on your air circulation in your computer and your processor cooler. Bottom line is: if you have more money get AMD because it will be a good investment.

I have nothing against AMD or Intel, but I prefer Intel, especially with the new Conroe core in their new CPUs. Fast, Cool, and a great bang for the buck.

the difference is that amd and intels architectures are totally different , previously the performance and prices of AMD were much better than Intel's but the latest INTEL Core 2 Duo has much better performance but still its prices are too high

AMD heats up too quickly. Wheras Intel can control heat to an extend.
