Personally, I have an Intel. However, I don't think I would ever buy another system with an Intel. For now though, I must deal, because I am too poor to upgrade
I would never buy a Mac. Maybe just because I am a geek, but I think a Mac is for non-intelligent life forms. How simple do you want it? Everything is self explanitory in windows, I can't imagine it any easier! I have the same opinion of AOL too. Why would you want something so simple, that basically controls you, and you have no options or control over.
