AMD or Intel
 

What are you using and who do you  think is better
I have a Pentium now but I'm building a new machine using
AMD

Re: AMD or Intel
 

Right now I have 5 running Intels: Dual 533 Celerons. P-III's@ 550, 600EB 650, 750, 850, and three AMDs-750 Duron, 1GH TBird and 1.33 TBird@1466

Holly S**T thats a lot.What do you do with all those computers

Re: AMD or Intel
 

Right now all of my computers are running intel processors.  I liked them but now AMD has stole the market and i will definetly buy a AMD chip for my next system!

hahaha cool pic man...
ive got 2 intels - p3 667 @ 762, celery 800 @ 992. machine no.3 under construction is an amd though. amd kixx butt.
im trying to get a ayhja cpu (1.3gig) cos they're supposed to be good for 1.5 - 1.6 gig.
do any of you guys overclock ?
if that was a dumb question im sorry (cos im new)

Re: AMD or Intel
 

I have a trusty PII 400 MHz, and an AMD 950 MHz machine.  I haven't really done much overclocking but I plan to do it to them this summer.  Anybody have any good sites for more info on overclocking?  Personally, I used to think that Intel was the bad boy on the block.  However, ever since AMD came out with their Athlon line they've made me switch.  It's just logical, you know?  AMD has their chips that'll perform just as well as Intel's for 3/4 the cost.

Re: AMD or Intel
 

Hello,
I am currently using an AMD K6-2@333mhz. I like AMD processors for the performance and price. Besides, Intel really SUCKS!!! I have used Pentiums before and always went back to AMD for reliability. C.W. 8)

Re: AMD or Intel
 

I'm still fairly new at this game.  Just built my first computer.  Before that I had a Micron Pentium 133 before MMX.  Now I have a 1GHz T'bird on an Abit KT7A-RAID mobo, 256MB Micron SDRAM, IBM 46.1GB 7200rpm ultra-ATA hdd, Vantec cooler (man, I hate that Delta Black Label fan), Leadtek GeForce 2 GTS, SoundBlaster Live! Value sound board....  Still working on it, but it is a start.  After I get done playing with this one, I want to rebuild the old Micron for my son.

Over here in Australia no one would dare ask that question because everyone already knows the answer, and they would probably be killed.

AMD!! It rules and always will.

I only have an AMD Duron 800 but considering the price difference between it and my mates P3 800, the little extra performance show's how much Intel sucks.

Here's another overclocking sitehttp://www.hardocp.com/ and http://www.overclockers.com/
Here's the site of a guy that went all out and rigged a water coolant system up for his over clocking needs

Re: AMD or Intel
 

hello man,

i just want to say that i do not need a CISC processor because i do not usually play 3D games, so with a RISC processor, an AMD, is better for the equipment, and also a quite cheaper than the intel ones.

bye

Re: AMD or Intel
 

And heres another cool site  :P

http://www.wc-extreme.com

and yes, it is mine.

now go and populate the forums :)

Re: AMD or Intel
 

Cool site you have there SinnopS.  I'll definitely be visiting more often!

Re: AMD or Intel
 

hey thanks, we also got alot of cool stuff commin up...even a review of the elusive Abit KG7  8)

Re: AMD or Intel
 

I see that I'm going to be in the minority here, but I like my intel machines, I've got a couple of old P1 machines that are still used every day by my younger kids without any problems.  My older boys are running PII's, one is a 433 and the other is an 800, they supposedly use them for school, but all I seem to catch them using them for is gaming and they are working great.  My toy is a Dell Dimension 8100, P4 1.4ghz, w/256mb ram & a 64bit NVIDIA GEFORCE video card.  This baby rocks at whatever I want to do with it, games, office apps, imaging, you name it and it happens fast!  My only regret is that I didn't stick with Win98se instead of upgrading? to WinME.

Re: AMD or Intel
 

Why not just wipe the system clean and install Win98SE on that bad boy? :)

Re: AMD or Intel
 

Well I'm using AMD at the moment.  Pentium just can't compete on price in the UK (that's where I'm from by the way). On average AMD's chips are about £150-£200 cheaper than the Pentium equiv..and AMD perform much better!!

I also saw some info about Pentium releasing the 2Ghz chip next month, MEGA POWER!!!, but also read that AMD's Athlon 1.5Ghz can outperform it in some tasks   :D :D. Thats a Kick in the teeth if true!!   ;D

If this is the case, what are Intel upto??
