AMD vs. Intel

[Jonbo298]

Yes, AMD rushed to 64 bit, but who cares. AMD is finally staying ahead for once. I'm waiting until the next pinset comes out since I know the current 64's will seem minoot.

I just want an athlon64 because my 2500+ oc'ed to 3200+ seems like not enough for me, heh. Even though I'm still perfectly fine with it, I just have the feeling I want to upgrade.

Actually, the 64-bit chips run games hell of a lot faster than any 32-bit chip (at least comparing athlons to athlons). The athlon 64-bit 3000+ is only a tad over $200, so it's really not that much more. I will be upgrading to that pretty soon here from my 2500+ barton.

IMO, you get more bang for your buck with AMD.

by the charts i wouldnt say its a hell of a lot more. more like fair amount more.

UT 2004 tho they will be making a 64bit version of it to run even better on 64 bit processors

i've heard the AMD is more of a gaming processor then intel, and thats mostly what my comp is for...so thats what i prefer.
