theres no dif in branding

there is no point judgin a cpu by brand, a cpu is a cpu and should be judged on the price and speed (and support)

Brand loyalty is something most people practice and most companies strive for. A lot of people specifically shop for certain brands due to past experience. So, brands do make a difference, as far as performance it only depends on what a person is looking for.

I do agree. Like for instance, the Core 2 Duo is an Intel, but that doesnt mean all Intel's are good (like the Pentium 4). And the same goes with AMD.

For single core processors AMD takes my fancy right now but Intel takes the title for dual core. That may change though...;)

I voted Intel because my two most powerful rigs have E6700 and E6600 processors, but I also have rigs with D 940, AMD Opteron 170, and 175. All are pretty fair but for now the Intel's are on top.

Intel all the way. At the moment its the best cpu company. I have a X6800 and that creams the AMD flagship CPU which my friend has. :p :p :p

I have always been a AMD guy but the Core 2 duo I'm about to build is very nice. It's hard to say until AMD comes out with a 65nm so we can really see who has the better processor.

I have a question... my CPU is AMD 64 +3500 and i bought it more than 6 months ago. Everybody recommended me to buy the AMD 64 cuz its better than the intel one (over heating etc.) But now, i noticed that a lot of the recommendations are for intel E6300 or E6400.

Is it realy that today intel gives more than AMD? Can someone explain to me what has changed in the new intel CPU's that its worth buying them?

obviously you didnt look too hard, theres a desktop computers section at the top of the forum and a general computer chat section at the bottom. Might be an idea to post a thread there.... :rolleyes:
