AMD vs Intel

Intel for me every time, no cheap stuff when it comes to my PC

Thanks Brian

 

Always AMD .For gaming and work both. Giving you a nice statistics. I often have to install windows xp in different machines. An intel DUAL core 1/2gb ram always takes about 40mins to install , while amd (cemphor or xp) with 1/2gb RAM takes about 20-25 mins.I always prefer AMD with a good MotherBoard from Mercury or BioStar(with Nvidia).

 

BioStar? really?? I have one of those but it must be a uber cheap model

I can't OC my 5000+ to 3GHz

 

I ve been using Intel for a long time and pretty much happy with it

 

Intel's Core2Duo runs much faster than AMD, but AMD is energy consuming..

 

don't just blow smoke up our bums, post me a benchmark or two

 

yes. Biostar is very cheap in price (bought it at about $70 )but till now it haven't given any trouble . I have not tried overclocking it but what I like in it is , it gives onboard 512mb nVdia 6100 AGP support(I bought it more than 1 year ago). So I could play many games without installing a graphics card. Another thing earlier I told "good MotherBoard from Mercury or BioStar(with Nvidia)" , what I really mean to say is "good MotherBoard from ASUS or BioStar(with Nvidia)".

 

I prefer Intel chips in servers, but for general/desktop use I generally just go by whats better at the time.

I've used AMD chips on my desktop PC for 4/5 years, and recently changed to Intel because you just can't beat a Q6600 for £110 - especially considering they overclock beautifully

 

mine isn't even that good, it didn't even have on board video!

It's this one or close to it http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/t-series/content.php?S_ID=162

 

Normally Biostar releases two types of motherboards , with nVidia support and without nVidia support , with nVidia suport takes about $20 extra. I've lost the model no. but I guess it was TForce2 AM2.

 

AMD for me on my home computers, however for the servers I use Intel.

oh and AMD is a lot cheaper!
