416053 2005-12-30 20:10:00 pctek,

becuase a tech explained to me that running a 3.0 dual is like running a 6.0GHz. So why the hell would I want to run a crappy 3.8 when i can run a 6.0GHz? AND I don't know what I want yet...that's why I started this forum. :2cents:

You asked : "How does the AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core Processor 2.0GHz end up being "faster" than the Intel Pentium D 830 Dual Core 3.0GHz Processor"

So if a 3Ghz Intel runs at 6Ghz then the 3800 Athlon runs at 7600.
Just go read some reviews on Dual core Intel vs Dual Core Athlon.
The Athlon out performs it.

And you don't need to send me private messages calling me retarded.

416054 2005-12-30 20:58:00 heh, I missed out of getting such a PM, woe is me.

Why did this person even start the thread if they are going to discount real world facts with insults?

Havion, Rush out and buy the Intel, And make sure you pay top dollar for it, Its a little known fact that the more expensive ones are faster even if they are exactly they same model.

True story.

I hope you have many more questions regarding your new rig, I'm positive good quality advice will now flow.

Oh yeah, Make sure you whack that CPU is a nice quality Foxconn board with a killer 230w Hyena PSU.

I guess asses have the same issues as horses, it's a bit extreme to be dying of thirst while standing knee deep in the stuff, though .

Your "tech" is an idiot and has no idea how Dual core functions . Speak to someone smarter!

You have no idea how much I have been holding my tounge during this thread.

I have to go for the AMD over the Intel as well.

BTW Intel have had the "Intel inside" motto for 37 years now but I just read today there is likely to be a change.
