How does AMD compare to Intel?
I want to buy another computer since my old one is very slow. Computers running Intel CPUs seem to cost a little more. Are they really that much better than AMD CPUs?

Assuming you don't need ultra-high-end power and that you want to best performance to cost ratio, AMD is often the better choice. It should be noted that I am making drastic simplifications in my answer (the reality is that many factors such as chipset, motherboard, power usage, etc all affect the final decision).
AMD, at this point in time, is not the fastest. However, it offers very good value (speed to cost ratio). So it makes sense that the AMD systems you saw cost a little less.
My AMD value conclusion is also reached by numerous CPU review sites (i.e. here and here - but there are others - when in doubt, google it)
