Which CPU brand do you choose? Version 2

**apj101** · 08-22-2006, 02:28 PM

OK, the world has moved since 2003 when the last poll was made, i thought it best to start with a new thread to reflect all the new technology

So which CPU brand would you choose?

diduknowthat · 08-22-2006, 02:33 PM

hmm, I think i'll hold off voting until my next PC build, since I'm still using my old amd 64 2800+ right now.

Granted AMD is better for gaming in general....that conroe is giving them a run for their money.

pound for pound conroe beats amd in gaming, even with the drastic amd price cuts

Had to vote Intel since I have just built my E6300 Allendale system.

I'm glad you made another poll for this, because I had voted AMD in the other one

Well i have a AMD processor right now that is really good at gaming. But now that conroes out i think i will vote for intel.

AMD. Intel have disappointed me 1 too many times.

I haven't actually ever purchased an Intel processor within my life. Come to tihnk of it, I've never owned a PC that has had one in either, thus I have chosen to go with AMD. Although there are indeed the new Conroes out which by the sounds of it out perform all current AMD processors, I haven't actually used one myself yet so I can't really comment on it.

I'm glad there is a new poll.

However my vote still doesn't change from the last poll, so I voted Intel.
