buying processor.....intel or AMD?

[The__tweaker]

Compare the price of a boxed Thoroughbred XP 2200+ and the boxed 2,26 ghz p4... :)
Here in sweden the Intel is only about
20$ more expensive, and the sucker will give you
the choise to o/c to.
Put the Intel on a ddr based board and you'll get a quite cheap but still very high performance
setup that does'nt cost so mutch more than a amd system... :)

/Well, that's my opinion, disagree? Yell at me...

And at the moment quite valid as the difference here is about $50aus difference between them though sadly that Athlon is $200aus too much for me. :(
And the 533MHz FSB Intel has room to move. AMD has been putting all it weight behind the "Hammer" family rollout and sorta forgot the K7's. :cry:

yea although hopefully they wonlt forget to make 166fsb t-breds:D

166MHz FSB "Bartons" would be even better. ;)

AMD is cheaper, faster, and handles mutlitasking better than Intel's Chips. If you're going with AMD, be sure to buy a motherboard that has an option to turn off fans if CPU fails. AMD burns up within a matter of seconds.

dragon Did you mean to say turn off cpu if fans fail?
