Certainly there are lot of myths and less facts surrounding when it comes to choosing the right processor for your computer, do I sound like an marketing guy trying to convince, hopefully not its all about making the right choice and a choice that works for you not being in a herd mentality (wikipedia has nice article on herd mentality, just to make life easier for all and not to show my capability of internet awareness).
AMD, which everyone know has great products but still most are not aware of its products as much as they do about Intel, well atleast in India. But things are bound to change and the change has happened, Vishwanathan Anand has is now AMD brand ambassador, well obviously Vishy doesn't need introduction, he is the grandmaster in chess just like AMD is to processor, its like AMD is 'Grandmaster Inside' ;).
Vishy is intelligent, proven performer, less glitz and more work, consistent - all qualities which AMD is also know for.
For people who want to break the myths and know facts, there is a cool website www.askvishy.com, wherein Vishy guides you through making the right choice
Watch this cool ad, which is already being shown in most popular TV channels in India, now available at Youtube-AMD Adv

I've been an AMD freak since I got the AMD 486Dx processor 12-13 years back :)
Been on AMD ever since - current system's on the AMD quad core, which I got a month back.
My only crib is that the ATI line of graphic chipsets are not to as stable as I'd like them to be- driver wise. Have tons of trouble with the ATI chipset on my motherboard - going back to an external Nvidia card this weekend.
ATI chipset's caused my Linux to be quite unreliable and on windows causes 3D apps like Vue6 to constantly crash when hardware acceleration through OpenGL is enabled. Currenly working on OpenGL software rendering till my GeForce display card arrives.
Oh - one more point, AMD should step up their ADs in India. I've rarely noticed ads for AMD on the media - and the ones I saw in Tech Mags were quite dry compared to the competition.
