Intel means less problem with OS X - it's more compatible. Also, AMD CPUs are often hotter than Intel. I'd say go for Intel. AMD are good as well - but if you're thinking about OS X - go for Intel to save yourself problems.

Yes, Intel CPU is the best for OSX, with core 2 duo do not need patched kernel

Also Intel has better 64-Bit implementation than AMD.
 Ofcourse there is Voodoo Kernel respective the quoopz Kernel for SL which can be used with -force64 bootlfag, but it ain't as stable. And in view of the prices for memory most people like to use more then than accursed 3,*GB limited by 32-Bit adressing. btw: My old AMD rig & OSx86, was reason enaugh for me to change.^^ AMD Phenom II X4 955 - ASRock AM3A770DE - 8GB DDR3-1333 - Radeon HD 5570 1GB passiv - BCM4318 802.11b/g - Snow Leopard Retail

Yeah stick with an Intel setup. Less headaches because you don't need a custom kernel, patch CPUIDs each update, etc etc. If you're worried about money build it yourself.
