I prefer AMD , not just beacuse I have AMD but beacuse I do not like Intel , Intel had the monopol in the processor production and when AMD came I choose it just to get rid of Intel And now AMD is much better (to me presonaly) then Intel even by performances , AMD is just what I need !
If your idea is use the CPU with his original values i advice you to use the INTEL .
If you want to buy cheat processors and then overclock them, amd is better as the allow you to get values wich you must spend much more money to get them with intel processors...
I like AMD over Intel for a number of reason, one of the main reasons is simply that you get more for the money that you pay and both are typically stable processor to buy. I currently have an Athlon 64 3000+ which I am very happy with and had no problems with, I also used to have a few Athlon XPs (2500 and 2800) and also a couple of durons (1.3 and 1.6) which all were great. I am not looking forward to getting an Althon X2 over a Pentium D because once again the price differences for similar performance and also the general concensus is that AMD is better for gaming which is one of the major reasons why I continue to upgrade my processor.
The only downside of this processor is that it is having less l2 cache and that is of only 512 kb...i would have been better if it was either 1 mb or 2 mb. I dont know how it is possible that processor of speed of 2.0 Ghz is able to compete with Intel's 3.0 Ghz and that is the reason why they call it 3000+..strange huh?
Really depends on what you're running. Several benchmarks have shown that games don't care too much about cache as long as you have at least 512kb, more than that makes no difference. Also, keep in mind the important fact that AMD and Intel run very differently, so where cache may be important for one, for the other, that might not be the case. The reason why the AMD 2.0 ghz is branded 3000+ is because in benchmarks, it's able to perform better than an Intel counterpart running at 3.0 ghz.
Intel is brand name which i would prefer. The most common reson for this is it is widely popular in the world. People like to buy items of the popular brand in my point of view.
This question is based off a class discussion I am having but always looking to seek more feed from
others, so here is the original version of that discussion, mind you I am talking about the book
when concern with page reference so you might have to look up some of these terms if you don't
know them. With that being said I need people with hardware experience to answer this, any posts
that say take this processor or that one without going into detail will be considered off topic and
will be reported. A friend of mine ask me to help him pick out some parts, of cou....
ok, I know that I have quite a number of real crazy overclockings before. like clocking a 2.4GHz
Pentium IV processor to rum at 3.6 GHz (Woooow). That is a kool 50% overclocking and guess what?
Everything was still normalk even after the crazy overclocking....Can you believe that. I do
respect the Intel Northbridge chipsets as they really allow you to do some very kool clocking to
your processor, RAM and Northbridge. I have used a number of Pentium IV class processors and
motherboards (6 pairs to be exact) within a quite a very short interval of time (within the past 1 ....
Ok, so my parents are wanting to buy two new laptops for themselves, and they want the best they can
get.. i dont want any sugestions on what kind of computer they should get, they will be getting
XPS's, i just want to know the differense, and what the pros and cons are of Dual Core Power
Processors, and Intel Centrino Dual Processor, and which one you think is better.... ive looked
online and couldn't find much, my parents have looked and hopefully someone here can help

Is there anyone out there among you that has a picture of what it looks like inside a processor.
Maybe a picture of the inside of an AMD and an Intel processor for comparison. It's been a
curiosity that's arisen in me and driven me crazy for a while.....
I have: Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2300+ (2.2Ghz) Motherboard: ASUS XSeries A7N8X-X BIOS:
Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG So I just want to know how to overclock my processor, possibly just via
the BIOS or jumber settings, but im happy with "fiddling" with the hardware. Step by step PLEASE

I have a coputer about a year and half old, anyway last night I had to reset the BIOS due to some
unplesnentness, which I'm not willing to discuss. Anyway that went well however now the
computer thinks the process is AMD athalon XP 2500+ when it actualy is a 3200+, I know this for a
fact it is printed on the processor (I checked). Anyway when I was in the BIOS a wile ago I thought
I saw I clock setting option, anyway now I can't find it. Can anyone tell me where in the BIOS
these options should be. Some Specs: Board: nVidia-nForce2 Soltek BIOS: Phoenix Techno....
Recently I've been deciding to buy myself a DVD-burning toy. /biggrin.gif' border='0'

cheap and expensive burners and so many functions I can't decide on my own. /unsure.gif'

quite good - Does anybody have experience with them? ....
Hi all!!! I have 2 processors - Athlon XP 2500+ & Pentium 4 3.06 And i have some

recently used both and dear lord the iMac is the future of PC's. It totally had the capabilities
of a regular PC and yet the sleakness and smoothness of Mac OS X. It was awesome. While the eMac
sure did have some good features, the iMac was just the better of the two. What do you think?....
When I load my pc it shows as 1100Mhz, when it used to be 2200Mhz, Its an AMD Athlon XP 3200+
400FSB I thought it may be a multiplyer on the mobo, but I can't find any on there, the only
one on there is the clear the CMOS? the bios settings I think. Anyway, I'll wait a little while
for a response, but i g2g in a min. Thank you, Craig.....
I was reading a personal web site a couple of months ago that was discussing the owner's
experimentation with a 3.7 Ghz processor and liquid nitrogen cooling. If I recall correctly a speed
in the area of 5 Ghz was reached, but I don't recall exactly. Have any of you seen this site
and/or do you know where it is?....
Hey there, I am going to buy a new PC , and have everything sorted out , exept the processor... I
want an AMD processor , the question is : which model should I use? Which is the best processor ,
but still is not too expensive? Thanks....
I keep hearing these commercials on the radio about a processor which keeps virusses out (AMD
athlon). Is this bullshit or what? How can a processor be anti-virus?....
Hi all, I don't know if you already had poll about processor type, but now I think ist time to
tell again, which processor we have. I have AMD Duron - 1,6 ghz, but personally I think that
pentium4 is best choice. Reason for me to have Duron is cheap price.....
What the above said....lol... I was browsing the Internet the other day looking for the answer of
which processor is the best for gaming, the compared processors are Intel Pentium IV HT E and AMD
Athlon 64 (if I am not mistaken...) Most people say that Intel is better than AMD but also more
expensive. While others say then AMD can be over-clocked and is less hotter than Intel. So know, I
want your opinion. Which is the best processor for gaming? Intel or AMD? Thank you for the help.....
i am trying to configure some systems for internet browsing,this will be thier sole purpose,which
processor should i use for them,am sorta centered on d older celeron 830 mhz chip,cant afford any
chip higher than 1000mhz,pls advise,as a standard these chips would be mounted on intel chipset
boards with all integrated basic components with 128 mg ram and a 20 gb hardisk....
So what do you prefer? I actually just have a premade computer. But I have been thinking of building
my own or at least having one I had a company custom make.....
I want to but a new processor, a Pentium 4, I have a Celeron at the mo.. is it possible to simply
change them, swap the? Or would I need to buy a new mother board? Thank you, Cragllo.....
What do you think is the best processor company? I think intel is, becuase their processors are
faster and they have hyperthreading and are starting to produce 64 bit processors.......
