| 393097 | 2005-10-04 07:37:00 | Id say go for Intel if you going to use more apps than games , but if you game more than apps , AMD. I dont trust the 64bit machines though yet , but I'm sure they will be better in the future. as for Intell , AMD heat ratios , AMD is actualy known for it's intense heat factors , but there is nothing a good cooling system cant fix. If you want to argue about whats better , we can sit here all day. Intel and AMD are in 2 diffirent catagories, Intel is Workhourse, AMD is GameHourse. Although, both are just as good depending on what you need from your machine. Ripping DVD's = Intel , Games = AMD, Office Apps = Intel , Internet = AMD , Lowest Heat = Intel , Over clocking = AMD you get the point. | Mike_SA (8956) | ||
| 393098 | 2005-10-04 07:53:00 | How about you do some research before spouting out info that is wrong, misguided and plain bad. Luckily all the info you will ever need is available at www.google.com |

| 393099 | 2005-10-04 20:20:00 | Thanks, I'll do some research. Anyone else? | zahmad (8963) | ||
| 393100 | 2005-10-04 20:42:00 | Actually I take back what I said before... I really believe that it's about personal choice... You see no matter what you get, it will do the job, whether it's a Athlon or Pentium... Once you look at the big picture, the differences between them aren't very big... A lot of people will tend to be biased towards the chip maker their pc is based on... So like the others said... Do your research and pick out which cpu has the best for what you're looking for... But don't get too worked up about it... Good luck with looking for the right cpu for you. :D |

Personally I compare the performance of chips in the same price bracket, rather then on the clockspeed or model numbers, and Im a sucker for more performance, better tech, cooler, temps at a lower price (AMD) |

AMD64/FX/Dual core run CRAP LOADs cooler than the Pentium 4 equivalents. There is no difference in reliability these days either as proven in many independent stress tests. As a foot note the highest end dual core AMD's are outperforming the Intels in both Games and Apps.The AMD FX57 single core is also kicking intel's ass in both gaming and apps. AMD 64 are generally a tad slower in Apps. May pay to Google a few things before posting info 5 years out of date, and get with the times a we bit. I am sure Intel will come back (I have owned both), but at the moment its all AMD except for there crappy marketing. |

| 393104 | 2005-10-04 23:55:00 | Which is better, AMD Athlon 64 or Intel Pentium 4? I need something that I can use in my PC, and want it to be compatible to run Windows Vista when it comes out, and reviews have showed that Athlon 64 is faster and cheaper, but Intel has a higher clock speed. Dos the clock speed matter? Seriously, unless you are using specif apps that benefit from hyper threading, the choice is AMD64/FX/or AMD Dual core. Intel are doing well with marketing (as always), but there product is behind AMD, and there is 100's of recent article on the net to back this up. |
