Hekx Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Yoda My PC is AMD Athlon, even though at one point it said it was Intel processor III; I even have a non-working control panel extenstion for Intel Intel has those funky Blue men, but my PC is still alive and it's AMD, so it's a draw.
Darklighter Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Intel...Pentium 4 with Windows XP rocks...I've always used it and always will.
FatalStrike Posted November 7, 2002 Author Posted November 7, 2002 I'm leaning towards Intel which runs uses less power and thus runs at a lower temp then the AMD. Thus I would need a smaller power supply and a less noisey fan. SO far I have this that I am getting... Asus P4S8X SiS 648 P4 Motherboard Corsair 512MB (maybe 1 gig) Intel P4 2.4 Ghz 533Mhz FSB let me know if you have suggestions
Darth Homer Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 highlight Jedi_Anakin_S post, paste AMD. Intel is overpriced, and sucks. done. that's pretty much my sentiment too...AMD is more stable than Intel & costs less
Elijah Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 I Have an AMD in 1 comp and a PIII in the other... My Vote'll have to go to the AMD!
Clem Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Right ..... power consumption is of little matter ..... heat the same (as long as they dont cook ... which they dont) and speed difference is neglectable AMD's cost roughly 1/2 the price therefore my vote goes to AMD all the way also Intel ads lie!!!!!!!! (saying that a p4 will give u faster net!)
Kstar__2 Posted November 7, 2002 Posted November 7, 2002 Originally posted by Sivy B AMD, cause it's 1/4 of the price amd, ^that's why:D (damn, starting too quote again:()
FatalStrike Posted November 7, 2002 Author Posted November 7, 2002 Originally posted by Clem also Intel ads lie!!!!!!!! (saying that a p4 will give u faster net!) Most of what is promised by the processors are destroyed by crappy Motherboards, Low quality Ram, low amount of Ram, and various other parts that are not advertised as much as they should be. However you are right the P4 will not give you faster internet.
Darth Talliusc Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 well im not sure which i would prefer to have but since ive had ALOT of problems with the intel ads on this site not allowing me to post until/unless i give it a first name and an e-mail address i have to say this: INTEL IS CRAP! DONT BUY IT FOR IT IS EVIL EVIL EVIL!!!! IT EATS YOUR COMPUTER AND SAYS THAT ITS UPGRADING IT. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING OF INTEL. START THE BOYCOTTING NOW NOW NOW!!! please note that i dont actually care about intel vs amd but im mad and easily swayed by anger .
StormHammer Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 I'll have to go for Intel. I've got an AMD-based PC at the moment, and I've had nothing but problems with it from day one. It's not so bad at the moment...so I think the VIA chipset on my last MoBo was a major culprit...but there are still some niggles. Before this PC, I always had Intel-based PC's, and I have to give them their due, they were all solid pieces of kit, and I never had to call out an engineer to sort out any problems. The only things that went wrong with those machines was a direct result of my fiddling around, which I could always unfiddle. So, I'd rate Intel higher in the stability stakes, and for that reason more than any other, I vote Intel. You can guess what my next PC will be based on...
JediNyt Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 Im a gamer andAMD is getter for gaming supposedly so thats what I have. The louder fan isnt that bad. It worth it if ya want better gaming. Am I right? Or did I get jipped by Alienware?
FatalStrike Posted November 8, 2002 Author Posted November 8, 2002 You have an Alienware? NICE! Lucky bastard, if I had an extra $1700.00 I would have one too! However since I do not I will spend $600 and turn my old amchine into a freakin Monster! Muhahahaha All the power non of the customer support
Ratmjedi Posted November 8, 2002 Posted November 8, 2002 I have a Pentium 4 and I love it. It runs great and I have not had any problems. AMD I don't like because my friends have them and they have a lot of problems with them.
