As far as processors go, there definitely isn't a champ of AMD vs. Intel. Part of that depends on what you'll do with it and how well your software is optimized for that processor.

The biggest kicker is which chipset to get. The chipset will most likely be a more deterministic factor in overall performance than the processor you buy. Do lots of research before getting a motherboard to support an AMD.

For Intel, 875P or maybe 865 (if you hack the memory interface) all the way.
