Also (partly due to the reason you specified), is that they use less voltage, which also in turn, generates less heat and is better on the batter if you use a laptop.

A motherboard change isnt hard at all, even if you bought a new motherboard and CPU, it would be cheaper then the PEE.

Here are some benchmarks comparing the two:

Good choice man! Are you going to be overclocking?

koalaa · 10-04-2006, 02:01 AM

probably not, since I don't know how or what the benefits are.

It increases performance dramatically, especially with the Core 2 Duo's.

Whatever works at the time.

AMD... they have green case badges...

Sorry, I must say that I am supprised that AMD is so close to Intel. I guess it is all of those people that haven't ever used a good Intel processor....

I voted intel cause i only used a old amd k6 cpu in a laptop ages ago and it was slow (but yes it was a old cpu, prob good in its time) and i am really happy with my pentium D.
