AMD is best for gaming.
Intel is best for regular use and programs like photoshop, etc.

Not true at all. AMD is best for general use and cheaper. Intel's singl core CPU's only are better in audio/video encoding, heavy multitasking, and some 3D rendering. AMD is better for everything else - especially games, compilers, scientific apps, video editing, and some other 3D rendering. The respective leads in each area are quite significant, so going with a P4 system for gaming or an A64 system for A/V encoding is just a bad idea.

However, when it comes to dual-core AMD has Intel beat in pretty much everything, even A/V encoding. This comes at a price, though, as the cheapest A64 X2 is still around $100 more expensive than the cheapest P-D. Performance does follow, however, as A64 X2s have the performance advantage over Pentium Ds at the same price points.
