| I want to know if I should stick to Intel processors or go for AMD processors for Windows and Linux hosting. What does everybody prefer?

| Per core Intel win, where its gets more interesting is that AMD now offer cheap (relatively) many-core CPU which Intel don't have an direct competitors.
What you need to work out is whether faster few cores or many slower cores fit your needs better.
A single AMD board can have 32 or 48 core, which is a higher density of core than possible using Intel (where 24 physical is the max).
_________________| Intel | Amd |
Max Physical Cores__| 24 _| 48 _|
Max Logical Cores___| 48 _| 48 _|
Approx max Ghz*____| 75 _| 96 _|
* Very approximate: i'm using Intel: physical*1.25*2.5Ghz, Amd physical*2.0Ghz
Don't take the Approx number too seriously, but mean to show that prehaps at very high core density usage, more slower cores can win $ for $ against Intel 'better' cores.
HTH,
Deano

| Right now Intel is the way to go, AMD is certainly more cost effective however. Here is a site with tons of benchmarks between various CPU's
