I'm running 2 XP 2100+ at 2600+ speed (2.1ghz), one stock 1800+ pally, and a P4M 1.8.

My reason for AMD is simple- price/performance. A 2.4C would perform much better, and overclock much better. But it still wouldn't pass the performance of both procs combined, despite the price being the same. The motherboards are a pretty good deal too.

The other reason, also very important, is the extra FPU. this means clock for clock, AMDs are MUCH better at things like F@H. Pretty important to me since half of my boxes are folding, without monitors, keyboards, or anything....
