According to one of my colleagues, AMD CPU's are indeed cheaper, but
unless you a add high-quality motherboard, fan, powersupply, ... they
can be unstable. If you do add them, he says the total system cost is
about the same as intel.
I have no real experience with AMD CPUs (we have one AMD 1600 at work,
which seems to work well, and my main server at home used to be an amd
486, but I guess those don't count anymore)
