AMD or Intel?
Calum:
The question was AMD or Intel, dicksplash, nobody asked you about microsoft. If i want noise, i'll rattle yr cage.
geekzaus:
AMD!!! Intel's chips are more expensive and don't do as well in benchmark tests. I work as a computer technician for a major Cable ISP, and work with a great deal of experienced professionals. All of us build machines and all of us use AMD! :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
P.S. Off subject a little: I also use MSI and ABIT motherboards.
Calum:
I heard that AMD are giving their new chips names which include numbers that are higher than the actual clock speeds. eg, a 1500 Mhz chip will be an "AMD blah-de-blah 1800" Why? Because they say their chips go faster than Intels, at the same clock speed, and the AMD 1500 is capable of outperforming an Intel 1800.
I also heard that in many benchmarks, the Pentium 4 does WORSE than a pentium 3! Of course, in a year or 2 this might not be the case, as programs start to be written specifically for Intel (which is another reason AMD is better, programs aren't even sucking it's dick like they are with Intel!)

I'd have to go with Intel for only three reasons:
1. I can get P4s from them for dirt-cheap, about 90% off. :D
2. Gotta love MPEG encoding. I don't want to waste money buying another video card to enhance my work with MPEGs when it's already there with the P4.
3. I am an idiot.

Oh yeah, and here's another reason:
