Intel is much more compatible with most of the hardware n softwares.
Possibly (although i doubt it) but regardless, even if, it would be by an imperceptable margin
they are both realy the same both eaqual in good and bad point dont really matter what u chose but now its more to do with gpu choice
Not to be uncreative and emulate Crommy but... have you ever encoded XviD on an Intel box?
yeah but intels are better in video encoding decoding and stuff like that, but that doesn't bother me cuz i don't do that stuff
Too bad you also dont know what you're talking about. Unfortunate since you had so much potential for non-ignorance. (if im being too subtle consider my previous comment). But at least you're honest with the ignorance
Whats the difference between Hypertransport and Hyperthreading. It had no reason with me buying AMD, but Im still curious whats so great about them both.

here about hypertransports read

CPU101
what makes you say that? thats what i thought before trying out an amd, and the cpu in my sign performs much better at gaming and at 3dmark then my P4 3Ghz w/ht.
I dunno, it might be a im-not-a-teenager thing but since when does 3dmark matter?
Any reason for that, or are you chasing again
Looks like it's just a way to keep the account alive? I might have to do something about that
and for powerpc, i never heard about it, what is powerpc??
Gooooooooooogle
i wish i had an intel now, i want to get into video editing, but there is no way that i can do that with my sempron 2800+ its even oc'd to 2Ghz.
LOL sure you can my TBred could handle it so yer Sempy can no sweat
I have an Intel and also had the same in my previous CPU, so have no basis for comparison.
Hehe thats one of the most well educated posts in this entire thread. Mondo respect
About the 512 cache or 256, i still don't understand, what is it?
CPU 101.
some people voted for others, well is there other processors different from AMD, intel and powerpc???
Motorola was a big one, Texas Insturments, Cyrix
VIA makes a line of processors but they are mostly used on their Mini-ITX motherboards.
oooh i missed one
I love looking back on posts made in 2003
Should we dig out yours? Believe it or not, there's a catalog.....
ye amd have been veery eficiant that is till intel release there 62nm proccess cpu and then intel might become more efficiant
Ever hear of the PentiumIII?
Ians giving the website away for free????
hehe you have to qiualify to buy it ... terms to be decided
AMD all the way, way faster and runs cooler
Last time I checked, they werent faster
wtf are you talking about.. larger cache=faster performance
Yes of course, consider the Prescott with 1MB of cache ... now lets consider the Prescott2M with, you guessed it, 2MB of cache ... now lets do some PiFast using say, 8K FFTs (i.e., all inside L2) and you'll see who wins (the important piece of information you're missing is that the L2 for the Prescott2M is 17% slower than that for the Prescott)
and AMD chips use 1mb (as well as 512kb) L2's now, and also have larger L1's than P4 chips. (64kb+64kb vs 12kb+16kb)
How do you compare the differences between inclusive and exclusive caching algorithms? (because, of course, you know that Intel uses one approach and AMD the other and that they cant be directly compared)
No amount of fancy/fast hardware can live up to it's name if the end user is bombarding the computer with all kinds of crap.
Ever so true
A big cache (ie 2MB) really only shines when you are doing 3D modeling.
Hmm how about a masssive SQL transaction load? Would that be benificial or detrimental?
