The debate over who makes the faster or better desktop processors can rage on through the night. The fact of the matter is that both AMD and Intel are strong in certain areas, and neither company has a bad CPU in the midrange/high-end sectors. Where AMD has had greater allure than Intel in recent months is in top-level gaming circles. Thanks to NVIDIA's collaboration with AMD from way back in the day, and with the recent launch of its SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology that employs two GeForce 6-series cards in tandem for superlative performance, the deep-walleted gaming nut simply opted for an AMD/NVIDIA setup that married Athlon 64 power with massive pixel-pushing ability that two GeForce 6800 GT/Ultras gave in SLI mode.
