Re: Dual Core Processor Club
Yes, the Core 2 Duo is faster than anything AMD has to offer. But in my own defense the cost of changing platforms is just to great to justify the performance gain. I got the Athlon 4800 for 360$, thats a freaking steal considering what it used to be. To change over to the Duo platform it would cost around 1,000 to get me back where I am at right now. Two gigs of high quality memory, a nice high end Asus mobo and a mid to high end cpu... just to expensive for my taste.
Now, the next time I need to upgrade it wont be until AMD has something that can compete with Intel again, and everything will be good. The 4800 is still a badass processor and the performance difference between the two isnt that much.
