AMD over Intel....Intel over AMD?
OK. First of all, all CPUs have issues. One of the first pentiums couldn't even count correctly. AMDs were also unreliable in the past. The past. I run a 1.6 XP 1900+ and I am very happy of it. I don't know if it's my RAM, or the speed of the CPU itself, or whatever, but, my friend just bought a new Gateway, for almost twice as much as it cost me to build my pc, and his is a P4 1.9 GHZ...I did benchmark tests ( If I had saved it, I would post it... ) and my computer pretty much outran his. Not saying that Intel Pentiums are bad, they aren't, I have another, older machine that I have been using for, uh, over 5 years, and I works fine. ( Yes, I realize it is slow
) AMD is just different from whatever Intel manages to make. Although Pentium processors are somewhat tech ahead of whatever AMD has, it still does not mean that P4 is faster. AMD is pretty much cheap compared to Intel Pentium's prices. Both CPUs do pretty good, and my opinion is that both are pretty much great for the average user, who plays games once in a while, surfs, and does stuffies in MS Office, or whatever he or she has. Then again, thats just what I think. Does anyone think/know/believe/ whatever
graphics preformance greatly varies by CPU type?
