Intel? AMD? Help!?

TacoShack · 03-27-2008, 02:31 AM

Well im going to be building a computer soon, and im just wondering
whats the difference between intel or amd processors, on tiger it shows that amd are alot cheaper then intel?
is amd not a good processor? is that why there cheaper or is intel just over priced because its intel? i mean if i can save 100 dollars on buying a processor im up for it i just need to know what one to choose
Ive been looking at intel core 2 duos becuase my dad has one in his laptop and its super fast the computer im on now has intel celeron 2.0 GHz yeah thats slow and i need an upgrade badly

any help is appreciated!

ok, possibly intels are good, but AMD's are great. get an amd processor, so much better. im only saying this because i have one, but its not a bad prossecor. havent had any trouble with it get a x2 amd 64 6000

The way it is, Intel absolutely destroys AMD. I mean, totally kicks their ass. There's no comparison. AMD laptops are absolute crap. AMD desktop processors are cheaper because they are slower, less efficient, they're losing market share by the bucket load and they're trying to entice more suckers to buy them with low pricing.

Friends NEVER let friends buy an AMD.

you are so right! Intel is the best way to go! I love my Intel PC's. My Intel compaq works a lot faster then my AMD compaq and my AMD compaq has a faster clock speed and still the intel is way faster! Go with INTEL! Intel is AWSOME!

i switched over from a X2 5600+ @ 3.3ghz to what i have in my sig, i'll never go back...

Whats your budge on a cpu?

TacoShack · 03-27-2008, 02:48 AM

ah really its way slow then intel geezs ;l
i just saw this video on youtube where the person took the fan off an intel processor and it didnt smoke or anything it was fine then they did it to a amd and it smoked and burnt out ;l man i thought i could of saved 100 dollars but no wonder amd is cheap i mean my intel celeron is running vista right now hard to belive LOL and this comp is 7 years old

my budget for cpu prob 100-150

Your selection of the cpu should depend more on the type of build rather then the brand for the most part. AMD did have the leading edge for gaming until the Core 2 Duos and Extremes came out. For work horse builds the AMD line does well there while it took them forever to finally get their own quad core models out. And many are now jumping on the two Phenom models available.

And youtube is the last place to find any credible information.

you guys also know that AMD first came out with the 64 BIT processor... so they might have more experience with the 64bit. I'm also not sure which one to pick.

ok to be honest, no1 is going to run cpu's without the heatsink so this proves nothing. Just like if u buy a car because it has a built in parachute. WHO THE HELL CARES???? IT DOESNT DO ANYTHING!!! i saw the same vid, and they were running a game (???). with that budget, get an AMD.
pceye has a pt, depends what u want. im not against intels or anything. all my previous comps were intel based. so by all means go that way. just dont do it because it apparently 'kicks AMD's ass'. i knw intels are prob better, i did my fair share of rsrch b4 i decided to buy AMD, but do i regret it?

hell naw
