Need Advice, AMD or Intel

bundar · 09-26-2006, 02:59 PM

I've always use AMD, there were fast and kicking the crap out of intel. Now I see that intel's core 2 duo is the shit. Anyone out there switch from AMD to intel because of this and is the performance way better? The reason I ask is because I'm thinking about upgrading to intel.
Thanks

That would really depend what AMD CPU you're upgrading from.

Not really. Any AMD on the market pretty much is getting spanked by the C2D.

Well, that and the budget. An X2 4800+ to an E6400, or even E6600 wouldn't really make that much of a difference.

It should be a significant upgrade, keep in mind that you'll also need to change over your board and preferably RAM as well.

Yeah, what he said. You'll notice a significant difference. Go for it.

Thanks everyone, yeah I know I'd need to upgrade RAM and board.

Thanks Again. Time to give intel another shot.
