i am now assembling my new desktop computer.Which is best intel or amd?

Today intel is at the peak of processor technology because of Core Duo. That depends... Core Duo costs 30k php or more. If your not planning to buy Intel Core Duo then you can buy either Intel pentium 4 or AMD athlon3800

if you're on a tight budget, amd would be the logical choice. but if you've got the money to spare go for intel. core 2 duo for intel, or X2 AM2 for amd. =)

Go for the intel core 2 duo E6600 processor (runs at 2.4Ghz), get an Asus, Epox, or a gigabyte motherboard, get 1Gb of DDR2-800 ram (brands would be either, geil,kingston, apogee), get either a 7800 or 7900 series of video card, get 2 hard drives, primary hadrdrive would be a 120Gb and secondary would be either 200 or 400gb..depending on your needs. Get also a rated 450-500 watts power supply, get the brands like, HEC,enlight,and task. other brands are also recommended by PC websites. go to tomshardware.com: http://www.tomshardware.com so many tips there..

If u r thinking economically...as well as u want performance AMD rocks

if i'm in your position i can choose INTEL because i trust in it :)

intel is the best, i've tested myself, i've used intel pentium 4 since more than 5 years ago till now, heavily used for surfing, gaming, programming, design, etc, and found no damage or complaints about it. well, from what i've heard from my friends, intel gives more reliable and last longer performance rather than amd. Yet the amd is cheaper, and that might be some trade off for it's instability. My sister's boyfriend using amd, and it troubled over and over after 3 years. another suggestion : make sure that your mainboard/motherboard is compatible with your processor, also choose an adequate RAM & graphic card for better performance.

amd dual core is best I think just give lots of cooling

Since i had both of them, i can tell that Intel works better. Of course..the processor is just 25% of you pc :)
