Essentially if you plan to predominantly game, go for the AMD, otherwise go Intel

I'm a software engineer with both a P4 HT and an AMD64 on my desk. I always have 8-10 things running at the same time. For me, the difference between them really isn't that close, and it is something that will never show up on benchmarks. A few times / day off-the-shelf programs (like IE or M$ Word or SQL server, etc.) goes nuts and just hangs up, usually for a few minutes and then something times out and they display error messages or whatever. Just typical software anomolies. On the single-threaded AMD machine sometimes the system becomes unresponsive until the application finishes hiccupping, but on the Intel box that almost never happens - I can go my merry way with other work until the errant application becomes lively.
So in my real-life usage, the HT machine is much better. I mostly just use the AMD for big compiles and database searches, etc. After being spoiled with HT I would never want to go back to using a single threaded machine as my primary computer; so until AMD comes up with multi-core later this year, all my new PC purchases are Intel. (Although a multi-processor AMD would be tempting

my understanding is that banning is on a per account not per IP (not saying IP ban can't be done but in this case it isn't done) and since compfreak has a static IP it's easy to see who it really is. (the same english style helps out a lot too
)there's a little more to it than this. Intel basically excels in multitasking, db apps and media editing and AMD has picked up the rest of the catagories but going by the formulas: game = AMD, rest = Intel does work

lol im not gona say anything bad incase i get banned again if when is the amd dual core cpu coming out in the uk and us ect and woudl the intel dual core have a quad proccesor due to its htt
New account, same person
LOL see? Its not a personal vandetta (otherwise you'd be a gonner already) ... as long as we all get along and stuff
Are you going to be able to afford that stuff? It wont be cheap by any means
Indeed (although id argue AMDs picked up a lot in the media department .... welll everything but Premier but thats a side issue) ... i just couldnt see compfreak programming SQL anytime soon so i kinda broke it up as games and non-games

lol so were gd no more banning lol how much do u think dual cores will cost
Well, if you like moddifying hardware, I know of a multiple core computer coming out soon, its called the PlayStation 3 I'm sure you could turn that into a linux box easily, or even install windows.
Hell, even the next xbox is supposed to have 3 processers in it. (Rumors of course)
