Hello Jasi,

AMD and Intel both provide processors that are compatible with Maya, it's just a matter of preference as to which one you choose. I always used to go for Intel purely because it's the market leader in this country but I decided to change to AMD when I built my new computer as I had heard good things about them (they use less power, run at lower temps etc.)

I'm very happy with AMD and until something much different/better comes along I'll be sticking with them. At the end of the day I don't really think that it makes much difference which company you initially choose just so long as you get a motherboard that will accept the CPU!

All the best,

Mat.
