StuckPIg Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I need some advice on which cpu to get. Would I be better off with a amd or P4. I am curiuous what the pros and cons are of the two. I am looking at a P4 2.4 or 2.5. what would ve a good comparison from amd. AMDXP 2800+2.00ghz Is 2.00ghz the operating speed? Like 2.4 is to P4?

Andy867 Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Well, with the P4's, they are fast, but they aren't real-time clock speeds. They are exaggerated speeds that would take place under near OPTIMAL conditions. With AMDS, they tend to run a little hotter than P4s, but are real-time clock speeds. for a 2.4GHz P4, an XP2600 should be a good comparison. P4 Pros ----- Fast 95% Reliable good bus speed Cons ------ $$$ exaggerated clock speeds AMD Pros ------ Fast Inexpensive 95% Reliable Real-time clock speeds Good Bus speed Cons ----- Run a little hotter than P4s, but can be cooled with good HSF Require AMD socket motherboard compatibility. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
