| 416024 | 2005-12-27 19:01:00 | It depends on your uses for it, but I think that the AMD Athlon 64 is better, especially the X2s :D | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||

| 416029 | 2005-12-27 20:54:00 | AMD is good for most things. Dual core is good for image software or video with big files, processing. V noticeable. For Intel its comes down to business work really if you need more disk access like backup, access the network freq., rip video or mp3 I think and the like. A niche area thou. If you wanna compare the two at least do a Pentium D vs AMD Athlon Dual Core (X2?). |

| 416030 | 2005-12-27 21:46:00 | I'm quite a computer snob, and I usually by the most expensive equipment available even when the benefits are dubious. However, I think Intel really lost the track when they introduced the Pentium 4, and all subsequent processors. (The jury's out on the multi-core CPU's.) I saw an interesting article on comparing a Pentium M, which is basically a Pentium 3, against a Pentium 4 http://www.tomshardware.com Basically when the two CPUS ran at the same speed, and on the similar motherboards, there was very little difference in performance. However the Pentium 4 sucked much more juice, and needed much more cooling. I also read that Intel top-end multi-core motherboards had problems with high-end motherboards, though I'm sure this will be straightened out. For now, I'd stick to AMD, plus a nice NVidia video card. |

| 416031 | 2005-12-27 21:55:00 | a Pentium M laptop cpu in a desktop. ive been reading a bit about this lately and its interesting, they get some very high overclocks with cool temps aswell. but of course its not a cheap option :p and recommended for "extreme overclockers" :D that probably doesnt interest you though.... |
