    If you got the extra $$ get an intel.. I was always all for AMD... but a top of the line P4 kicks ass. Just make sure u dont get a celeron, suck for photoshop etc.
    I dont need a sig.

      AMD if you are a bastard tweaker as for like over clocking etc, if you dont plan on over clocking and doing mods then intel all the fucking way, alot of people dont like intel cpu's but i have never had a problem with them, they are worth the extra money in my opinion..

                it's like asking which color is better, red or blue. Each have their advanatges and the new AMD production run spanks the hell out of the pentium chips but are still prone to heat.

                Personally I'm sick of my computer causing heatwaves in my room so I'm going dual core pentium next time around.

                  Ok, so a cooling issue is ther.hmm. Will try to keep that in mind, as where we live there is no ac. We dont really need it, because it does not get above 85, but that would be just enough.

                    I've always prefered AMD. www.tomshardware.com or www.arstechnica.com for info and benchmarks.

                      that is the same processor i have in my main computer, it's fucking amazing. i'ev never compared the intels to it side by side though. i had heard that intels are a bit better for things like servers that need to run constantly, but for a home machine the AMD 64 does everything i need it to.

                            Always go for AMD and a good cooling system.

                                At the moment, AMD is kicking Intel's ass all over the place in everything, there's no comparison (where as, 1-2 years ago Intel was ahead of the game).

                                AMD 64 dual core processors are fucking awesome. But to be honest, even though AMD is superior, you can't go wrong either way. Just make sure you get the line with 1MB of cache on the processor (IE, don't buy the "budget line", like Celeron) or it will cripple you.

                                  I never had an AMD so I have to say P4. I always heard AMD was better for gaming applications and I don't game.

                                    I wouldn?t change my Northwood P4 chips for anything.

                                    AMD was always better suited to gamming, which I don?t do.

                                    No idea about the newer Intel chips and don?t want to know either.

                                    good luck.

                                          Unless your familiar with tweaking shit around and messing with settings just get a Intel P4. Stay away from all that celeron shit.

                                            I've had both, honestly - the same fucking difference

                                            Go with Intel IMO, I had some hardware compatibility issues once with my AMD

                                              That's one of those, "you really need to ask?!" kinda questions. AMD smokes Intel chips pretty much across the board. There are some exceptions, like the lower cost (but lower powered) dual core chips Intel came out with are great for most people but the expensive AMD dual core chips are more powerful AND they are faster for "single core" applications which is pretty much everything out there.

                                              Pentium chips consume more power and run hotter than AMD chips which are far more efficient. Except for Pentium M chips which are intended for laptops and there's not much in terms of boards out there to support them for desktop useage just yet. The Pentium Ms are better processors than P4s with great speed at lower wattages and far less heat output. It'll be nice to see them used more in desktops.

                                              Intel's biggest advantage is offering huge discounts to sellers like Dell for using their entire line of chips exclusively - not creating superior chips.
                                              Beat it. Nothing to see here.

                                                      well, amd chips are better for processing, which in turn makes them better for gaming...but they are just better all around
