which brand is the better for a computer?  

pentium is a huge brand, they have good publicity, but i think that amd is faster, safer, and more reliable... i like it better.

its better to use a custom one

pentium is better today. Cause of Dual Core. But i still prefer AMD

pentium is better because these days it faster than amd and its got the whole duo vore and in the last two monts there have been virus targeting amd prossorsers

well pentium or intell products have been to this buissness for quite some time now nad most companies who uses computer are using intel products so i guess intel or pentium computers are more better than the amd ones. greetings. : )

i have recently acquired a intel core duo and its amazing. i use a lot of software and i am very thrilled by the performance

It is better if you read the reviews online. For me though, I planning to buy an AMD duron on the net so I won't have to buy new motherboard (which would need new rams and perhaps new video card. I can still find brand new ones of it.

i personally feel pentium is better bcoz my own one is working wonderfully n i hav had no problems sinc long

I prefer Pentium.

i'd rather say amd 64, it has a lot of oomf. but in philippines pentium 4 is at peak..... but you have to consider if its for gaming or just for word processing. there are the budget amd sempron & intel celeron....
