Which CPU brand do you choose?

Is nVidia gonna bring their nForce 4 chipset over to an Intel board any time soon? If you want the best gaming rig now you have to go AMD for the SLI capabilities. And whenever Microsoft comes out with their 64 bit OS the AMDs are gonna be smokin' the Intels (until Intel releases a 64 bit proc that is ).

I prefer the AMD for gaming but for overall applications I prefer Intel, but AMD is closing that gap as well

and if there isn't a better one in the same price range then why did you call the first one crappy?

Because, for the price range (current price and back-then-price), Intel was a better route (which was the point i was making )

Already happened although the Intel implementation isnt to pretty, Intel-nvidia-SLI doesnt give anywhere near the performance delta as AMD-nvidia-SLI ... give it some time to work itself out though

until Intel releases a 64 bit proc that is

You do realize that all the current-gen Intel procs are 64bit right?

I didn't realize they started shipping their 6xx proc last week.

It must have been shipping for more than a week. I'm thinking 2-3 weeks at least, but they were probably selling before the 'official' release.

 

[Praetor]

Yeah kinda like the 570Js in BTX

the blue men rock

the blue men rock

that they do, have you seen them live? I saw them in Vegas a couple years ago it was amazing. But that doesn't really have to do with the brand being better, just the chioce in advertising

Hey, just think about this. AMD has their architect so well built that they don't need the ghz like Intel does. Also from what I've seen Intel's new 64bit processor isn't so good.

 

[Lorand]

AMD has their architect so well built...

WOW, I wanna date that architect...

Any links?

Intel without a doubt...........dont need any reasons other than Intel is the best processor there is.

If that doesn't scream fanboy I don't know what does.

Hey fanboy, Intel is a company, not a processor.

I smell the scents of a fanboy, where's the raid? .

FANBOY!!! FANBOY!!! FANBOY!!!

Hey, I'm one too....

Who would have thought

AMD, come on. Cheaper, more reliable, faster, and in my opinion, loads everything faster (I got a 1.2ghz thunderbird about 5 years ago and it still runs everything smooth, except games like doom 3 and half life 2). My T-bird I think loads faster (maybe not faster, but smoother) than my brother's 2.8ghz P4, and Intel sucks bad. Too Expensive, too slow, too flashy.

Not necesseraly true.

more reliable, faster

They are actually slower (this particular speed is measured in Hz).

My T-bird I think loads faster (maybe not faster, but smoother)

Define smoother.

and Intel sucks bad. Too Expensive, too slow, too flashy.

What we have here is fanboyism rather than facts.
