Pentium Vs Amd

im an AMD fans, since im a gamer i always go for AMD. Firstly their price are much better than Intel and they are not lock all processor, u can overclock it easier than Intel. although Intel shows you high GHZ but that's not what u actual getting, and the AMD 64 bit is a new generation for processor. i think that's pointless to get old technology and upgrade it a few months later.

Agreed, AMD is the way to looks the future.

If Intel doesnt start to think to get out of the problem they created (the race of the Ghz) they're going to be in a really problem.. P4 are getting hotter and hotter... and if they dont change completely their way to make processors they're going to lose a big part of the market.

Yeah m8 go for AMD
cheaper,faster and reliable
good luck

The Athlon does more per clock cycle, which is why the AMD 1.67 GHz is comparable to the P4 2.2 GHz, but the P4 Northwood has double the cache (512K instead of 256K), which should lead to better performance. The P4 also has SSE2, which is an additional set of instructions for multimedia, which AMD won't be getting, unless Intel says so. I personally am a fan of the AthlonXPs, since I don't have infinite cash, so if money is an object, get one of those and pair it with an nForce motherboard. =)

INTEL vs AMD
Pentium Vs Amd

I'm a computer programmer, id say, intel is far more better than AMD, bc most of newer intel processors nowadays supports Hyper Threading which means you can do multitasking unlike AMDs, and when it come to overclocking, well I've performed overclocking with my pentium d and pentium 4 HT 3.0 and they where good,my pc doesnt overheat unlike AMD. Of course when it comes to quality you can always trust processors with high price bc it only means that they are good as what you expect. If you want to have an ultimate PC then why not try buying more RAMs than buying faster processor, if you intend to buy pc for gaming then you must meet the specs for the gaming pc by researching on the web which PC parts are better, in gaming, why not use a SATA hardisk with 7200 rpm and up then a 2 gig ram and 512mb video card, processors doesn't matter, as long as you have enough ram your gaming pc will work well...

What is it with secondhand AMDs
Pentium Vs Amd

I had a pentium celeron 2.8 ghrtz and 512 ram. With a gforce 6800 with 128mb ram. I had that machine for 6 years and it never gave me one problem. Except for windows dying on me from time to time. But everyone knows that Microsucks Windblows is a virus on its own. And yes I did try gentoo linux. Works well. This pc was a very good medium. Celeron had no campatibility issues with anything whatsoever. I then bought a AMD sempron 3200+ 1.81 ghrtz with 512 ram. SATA kept on giving hardware errors. And the BIOS had a mind of its own. It can in my opinion be compared to a Land Rover. Good 4x4 when it is running. Gives lots of errors. Then I had a pentium 4 with 3ghrtz processor and 2g ram. And that was ok. It had the same problem with reading from storage. The computer restarts with no particular reason or error. The CPU was running at 55degrees celcius. Which is normal. Then I had a AMD athlon 2500+ 1.1 ghrtz processor for experimental purposes. This is of course the worst PC I have ever had. I would like to kill the people who made it. What it all boils down to. If you are looking for a reliable PC. Get another means of communication because you will have your fair share of problems with both. After this 2500+ I am really considering moving to some unevolved africa country and never thinking about Pcs again.

That is the most absurd thing I have heard in some time.

 The CPU makes or breaks a computer. Of course memory and video play a big part of speed, but without a fast CPU, you will NOT have a fast computer.

actually i have had an AMD 1.81 GHz computer and my computer is slow as balls. The computers at my school have Intel and they are way faster than my AMD and they are 1.7 GHz
