AMD for price, Intel for... well, higher-price!

Agree!

Why to pay more?

I think, AMD Athlon 64 3800+ would be a good choice.

Well usually I'd say AMD just because of the prestige.

But Pentium has one of the best chips out there. The Intel D 805 is just too awesome. You can overclock it to run at 4.2Ghz (!) and it only costs 120 Euros, don't know how much that would be in dollars. I guess something about 150$
Best performance for the lowest price.

I have a Pentium now... but earlier I got an AMD
and was satisfied with both.

I've always used pentium and I'll probably keep doing so. And now apple is using intel too, so I'll even get it if I buy a mac, that's great! Smile

AMD all the way!!!. imo they are much better then intel. they are way cheaper then intel is also a plus. besides i read some places that intel share going down and amd share going up. so they must be doing something right ^_^

pentium are for multitacking,doing multiple stuff at once

by **aleksys** on Wed Jun 14, 2006 12:33 pm

amd is for gamers, or other work with multiemdia,
but intel is better for programming, or other calculations

by **kodikas** on Sun Jul 09, 2006 3:18 pm

well... you should get a Athlon 64 because of the power saving feature...
Intel just leeches power and power which you don't need.

I've always used Intel and never AMD and Intel has always worked for me, but I'd like to try AMD on my next computer to see what it's like. I'd still suggest AMD though.
