Why Shouldn't I Use AMD (#374)

I'm thinking of building a new desktop computer -- although I really like my present setup, I guess 733mHz is getting a little long in the tooth. But I really don't want to spend a lot of money. It looks like an AMD processor and AMD-compatible mobo from Gigabyte or Asus or someone could be had for 15-20 percent under comparable Intel parts. Is there any good reason I should not use AMD?

I don't presently do any 3D modeling or gaming. If I do so in the future it will be quite limited, I suspect. But I might do a little video editing if I get an ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder 8500 video card.

Comments welcome.
