celticfan11 said:my question is.... the last pc you built was AMD. and you praised that to no end and said never would you use intel again or sell intel. What happened to that?
I know I said that, and the difference is cost.

the Intel Pentium 4 or Pentium D systems also consume more energy in idle mode - more than the Athlon 64 or Athlon 64 X2 under maximum load.
Also, the Yonah chip will address this power issue.
Kermit_The_Frog said:I asked why he went with the Intel but then again if he is buying a pre-built name brand then we all know why , for some very strange reason AMD has been kept out of the name brand game , wonder if a certain court case comes to mind , but we see in sales now AMD is right on track and even leading intel in sales , HP now offers AMD servers and we see full page ads for HP / AMD which is new , but things are turning around , But its funny how you ask a question in short form around here and you get called a troll ... LOLOL
If I had the choice, I would have gone AMD. But, you are right, while Dell sells just AMD CPU's, they have yet to sell a system with it. I am partial to AMD, but I got such a deal on this PC, it was cost effective. Cost is a real big factor in any purchase.
madmatt said:Derek, congratulations on the new system. You should be very happy with it (I know I am very happy with mine).
Thanks bro. To be honest, you were influential in my choice. I saw your specs and new you liked it, that helped me decide on Dell. That, plus the cheapo price

Maybe not, but you sure seem to keep track of my posts so you can give me sh*t about something

And dont be so rude as to attack me on a personal level either thx.
Interesting read, but utilities are included where I live so power consumption doesn't bother me

What's wrong with DELL? I don't see how that is a "newb" PC?
