In my case:
- I've got more hardware issues with AMD hardware than with
Intel (in some
  case because of heat issues 
- There seems to be more bugs in chipset and/or drivers for
non-M$ OSes
  (at last Intel has most docs publically available for
this)

The last example I have is installing linux on a recent
opteron system
(it was AMD because the user wanted it so) which took half a
day when
it should have been a matters of minutes. I got no troubles
with
the Intel Xeon I got a few days later ...
