IMO Intel produces the faster processor first on the market, and AMD usually follows, and for less $$$$. So at any given time, you have $XX.XX to spend, you'll likely get more for it with AMD. And as Waltsaid, be sure it's compatible with your motherboard. Check your manual for supported processors, or bios updates to accomodate newer processors. Since it's Dell, you probably should just check at their website. Be sure to use your service tag number for accurate information. You will also want to upgrade the software to take advantage of the 64 bit technology.
