If video games and chess are your main uses for the machine I would think the AMD would be the better choice...especially for the money....I own a dimension 8250 and while it surely performs well it was hardly worth the additional cost were i to only use it for chess. But in the end it really is just a question of personal preference. If both companies offer comparable service and support then its really a toss of the coin. Charles
