Which CPU brand do you choose? Version 2

bigsaucybob · 09-16-2006, 03:26 PM

I went with Intel. I have a Core Duo in my laptop and soon to have a Core 2 Duo in my desktop.

I am using Intel P4 650 3.4GHz
It is amazing. AMD might have a better front side bus but look at intel great speeds in the business for a really long time, tons of L2 Cache and HT tech.

AMD has a really sucking con- Integrated Memory Controller that dosen't support DDR2.

The Athlon 64s are better then the pentium 4s in alot of stuff. Lots of L2 Cache doesnt mean a thing and the HT technology sucked. And for your information AMD has its new processors out with Socket AM2 and the memory controller which is really good supports DDR2. Next time do your research.

AMD's Athlon 64 line are far superior to the Pentium 4 line, and thier X2 line is also far superior to the Pentium D line. The only thing Intel has going for it is the HT.

And AMD does support DDR2, it's called socket AM2.

Your right. But HT tech is amazing I can comfortably watch t.v. and use internet and run e-trust anti-virus I am going soon to see if I can get an upgrade pack from dell for pentium extreme 3.73GHz. I am not upgrading to Core 2 Duo because my mobo is 1 year old and don't want to change it.

But back to the memory controllers. I did my research and yes only the older sockets can't support it.

On to my next topic. Pentium Extreme Edition at 3.73GHz. I am wondoring does AMD have Dual Core+HT Tech

No, they don't, if by HT Tech you mean Hyper-Threading.

You do know that a $183 Core 2 Duo outperforms the $1000 PEE 3.73Ghz, right? So by trying to save money, you will actually be losing money.

And a dual-core processor is much better then a processor with HT.

yes but i am a beginner PC builder and i just don't want my first project to be a mobo replacement
and Pentuim Extreme Edition is Dual Core and Has HT tech.

yes but HT ain't crap compared to a dual core processor, and a C2D will whoop its butt.
