AMD vs. Intel - Page 2

Loudhy · 02-14-2005, 07:25 AM

Unfortunatly the was no choice "I don't know" with the first question. I really don't know what's better and what processor I should prefer.

My first computer was an Intel and I havn't changed it.

It depends on what you do really. If you are into Video Encoding then an Intel would be your best bet, as they are a lot better at AMD at that. However AMD are better at gaming, and can be overclocked a lot more for extra performance.

So its safe to assume my 3000+ XP will be able to handle games like HL2 and DOOM 3????

Mine does, with a gig of RAM, and a Sapphire 9600 XT, both games run at high(HL2 on maximum) detail level without ever coughing or jerking up... So sure, you'll be fixed for the whole year or so [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well I have 512DDR and a 9800Pro...Not the best but I do believe it should do the job

BTW, what kind of Motherboard do you have Bozos?

Bozos of Bones · 02-14-2005, 05:17 PM

Well, less RAM, but a better graphics card will save you in most games.
I have an Abit NF7 nForce 2 Mobo with very cool features. It is a 400MHz board with SATA support(not used yet, didn't have cash), and 6 channel audio, quality sound even. In one sentence, to expalin the power of it, it's integrated graphics chip is a GeForce 4 4200 Ti

Hivetyrant · 02-14-2005, 05:33 PM

Nice, I just have an average Gigabyte board... its a GA-7VT600 1394, its major let down is the VIA graphics chip (not that I need it [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) but it supports SATA, 8 USB 2.0 slots, 6 Channel audio, 400MHz FSB so im happy with it, it wasnt a GT or anything (couldnt afford one

) but im sure it will keep up for a month or so

AMD processors offer equal or better performance for less money, it really is that simple. Guess which way I voted [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I 'borrowed' this from another "ahem" forum I frequent. Ah!, how ironic that it might be of all the hype how it's meant to be played, "Intel w/Nvivdia" and here clearly intel has been, uhm, DESTROYED! By the underdog.
AMD vs Intel
I run a really inexpensive (under $70 bones) AMD Sempron OC'd to Athlon 3000+ stock stats, or equivelant to P4 2.6C from this chart.

However, new technology is coming on strong.

Arledrian · 02-18-2005, 01:14 PM

AMD may give good performance or whatever, but their chips seem a bit cheap since they're noisy and get hot so easily. I used to have a 2500 Athlon XP and my fans would constantly be on the go. To me that's like buying a Kia over a Lexus, just because you get better gas mileage. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I run a P4 1.8ghz, by the way. Keep the system clean and add a decent chunk of RAM and it'll easily match an AMD.
