879931 2010-04-26 01:00:00 PB Technologies is selling an AMD X2 DC5000+2.2GHz for $399+GST and a INTEL DC 5400 2.7GHz for $499 +GST. What are the main differences between these systems apart from speed? Is AMD as reliable etc as the INTEL? Is one better than the other? Krad (7878)
879932 2010-04-26 01:43:00 Reliability will come down to the mainboard you use to connect everything, main differences between the 2?...apart from non-execution, x64 and VT instructions, there isnt anything to differentiate except speed.....The Intel combo will be at least 25% faster IMO SolMiester (139)
879933 2010-04-26 01:45:00 The latter has a faster CPU and larger hard drive. Therefore, the latter is "better", but only because it is higher spec. Reliability of both is equal. inphinity (7274)
879934 2010-04-26 03:39:00 At that price the PSU is probably crap and will determine the reliability (or lack thereof) Agent_24 (57)
879935 2010-05-01 11:20:00 You should save up more IMO dian77 (13936)
