Core 2 Duo or X2?

I have no preference, they both have their pros and cons.. and i always go for price and performance.

Yes, they have been out for quite some time.

This proves that AMD Processors & Motherboards are more advanced and have better sustainability than the Intel Processors & Motherboards. Obviously, I've never known anyone to keep their computers on for that amount of time, but isn't it good to know that you are able to keep your computer on for a longer period without failing? Although the Intel Processors & Motherboards may be that little inch faster, what's the point in spending a lot more money on a processor at the same speed if you can find a cheaper processor with the same speed? Summarizing all of this; AMD processors & motherboards are in a different, better league.

Uhhh, i have a Pentium 133MHz cpu from like 1995 that still works like new and it was kept on most the time, as is my X2.

So whats your point?

The amount of time you leave your computer on has nothing to do with anything. Theres too many other factors that can play a role in that. As in your cooling and your power supply.

And currently, Intel processors and boards are ALOT faster, not an inch. I love AMD, and i wish to someday work R&D for them, but your post is completely false.

Whats to say, whats the most advanced. AMD has onboard memory controller, Hypertransport. But right now Intel Core 2 is faster mhz vs. mhz. I,ve used both and theres not really any difference in reliability between the two. I,ve built nothing but AMDs for 4 years because I thought the Athlon 64 was a better processor than the P4 but, I,m just waiting till the end of the year and if the Phenom is not what AMD claims I will probably start building Intel systems again. Its as simple as that!

Sooo what does that video show? There are SO many different variables that they didn't account for that it's borderline propaganda. And what's with the reasons for deassembling? "Crash" and "setup"...wth?

And currently AMD is a good buy for lower end budget systems. But for high end systems Intel still has the edge.
