AMD or INTEL

when speaking of multi-tasking needs, AMD Opteron is the one to go. 64 bit processors, just like the Intel Itanium. Dont settle for Athlons or Pentiums

zi0n: price match? check this out!!!

Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz = 7,600.00~
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (2.083GHz) = 6,200.00

LOL!!!

[zi0n]

*lol* That's a BIG difference...

Intel is ripping their customers pocket... heheheh

That is not a fair comparison. Not fair for AMD! Another comparison:

AXP 1800+=3000
P41.8A=7600

AXP 1800+ASUS A7N8X-X=P41.8A

Cost over performance factor of a certain processor is not solely based on price alone.....Usage and opportunity gain factor should also be considered( in an accounting point of view). Benchmarks are not reliable as experience dictates....I still go with my tried and tested Intel rig...

hehehe... well, try using an amd... especially their Barton Core processors, you'll love it. Sooooo flexible and soooo fast... it also comes with the SSE2 instruction set for your lastest 3D softwares and apps.

Intel is faster on any AMD processors in some other ways.... 2-4:10 Heavy applications i think... but let us think of General usage... 3D applications, games, industrial and corporate apps, etc... and price over performance of course..
But if you are using your PC for dedicated Intel optimized applications... then Intel Pentium 4 is for you!

We always want the best, but we never get the best, and we argue for what is the best, but we never question on when will we be contented, so we have choices but always not satisfied.. the point is AMD and Intel are both fast in all aspects, but the its always been us the end user who always comment, for all we knw that this company is very happy to see that we compare there products coz they knw that we will always find a way to have more money to spend for a faster and better processor and they will have more money.. yet still we're not satified.. Get what u need and use it to its full potential and purpose, not just waste money on things that u will never be satisfied and alway to be argued..
