Would you get the new FX Cpu's

[unknownm]

Simple question. There not that fast compared to the conroe and use way more Watts + space on your case so my vote is no

 

[Geoff]

I wouldn't, right now the Core 2 Duo is still the best performance for the money.

 

[lb562high]

very true...C2D all the way

 

[Dual_Corex2]

Hell no, way overpriced.

 

[ckfordy]

Nope to expensive. get the C2D

 

[Geoff]

Just wondering, but who said yes?

 

[grimxx]

nahh to expensive

 

[Dual_Corex2]

I say get the X2 5200+ for about $200 less and same performance as FX-62!

 

[brinky2006]

Sorry, the C2D is still to good

 

[skidude]

Agreed. If I could go back to when I updated my mobo, I woulda went socket 775 and bought a Core 2.

BTW Omega, why did u get rid of your C2D and 8800!!?!?!?!??!??!

 

[WeatherMan]

Nope, When I go quad core for folding It will Deffo be Kents

He mentioned earlier that there was no use having a 1500$ computer.

Those who voted for yes are AMD fanboys

 

[Shane]

Nope,

I probably will go Intel from now on....Only time will tell.

 

[nffc10]

Yeah i would, only if i had the money though.

 

[Geoff]

Why? The Core 2 Quad QX6700 outperforms dual FX-74's at 3Ghz in practically every benchmark.

It isn't the benchmarks that would make me buy one, it is the fact that i have had AMD processors in my last 3 computers and had no problems. It is just my preference, i have had no problem with them in the past so why change?

And you will not have any problem if you buy intel core 2

Intel core 2 outperforms AMD by far, It consume less power than AMD and it it runs cooler. So, there is no reason for anyone to buy a CPU other than intel.

Talk about a point of view as narrow as a stop sign!

People dont have problems with Intel either.

So you're saying that you would want to buy two processors, a dual-socket motherboard, and 4x RAM modules, which would cost alot more money, then a cheaper, better performing Intel Core 2 system?
