Would it be fair entering both sides of the competition? Even though P4s are apparently generally better than A64 I think everyone with a GPU who decides to fold for AMD would be giving the AMD camp a MASSIVE boost. The only way it would be fair is if both sides had equal numbers, and we can't guarantee that at all.
I think it should be GPU or CPU. If you are running a GPU your stats can go towards whichever camp you prefer. At least this way the GPUs are more likely to be balanced as you aren't forced to decide which team to be on by manufacturer.
So... assuming we go with the above we have so far:
High End League - Core 2 Duo/Quadro, AMD FX-series, Equivs
Medium End League - Athlon 64 X2, Dual Core Opteron, Equivs.
Low End League - Athlon 64, P4
GPU League - X19xx series GPUS
Each of the leagues can be further sub-divided into Intel vs AMD.
The only issue I can see is the High End League... only Intel CPUs can compete... even if you had the fastest FX CPU going odds are someone with an E6400 or above will tan your hide.
