Ok...first of all I just finished Building 2 P4's for a client. Specs are P4 3.2 1gib ram 256mb Vid blablabla..Other one is the same ,but with 512mb Saphire Vid. and 2gb ram.Now, come to find out, these guys are Major BF2 players.They are currently playing with the new Patch + Exp. and you know what?The gaming SUCKS!!! ---->Answer to why it does: The Intel P4 CPU's !!! I had them come over and bring their tower next to mine,(AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 Dual core only 1 gb of ram, well , let me tell ya, it was all a different tone there!!!They were able to Drop the bomb on those trops before the trops knew what hit them!
Quality and Performance IS important ! Intel only has one of those features...and that's not even one of them! AMD's are much easier to cool down then an Intel + It's built for Gamers ,not for offices which is the market Intels after.---->Wooooops eh!Get it now?
Anyways ,I'm not trying to tell you where to fork your money, but If I were you next time you buy a machine, buy a Monster Gamer for 1/4 of the price of an Office equipment
Oh one last thing, It rocks with anything above X800 Vid card ! If you want to change something and are not going to change your mind about Intel, Change your Vid card !!! Yes ,it does make a difference! Remember, x800 or better.----> I'd go x1600,x1900 ...but it's a little pricy right now.
