AMD or Intel ? - GoFuckYourself.com

garfield81 · 09-21-2004, 02:21 PM

Looking to upgrade my computer.
Was looking at some Intel HT processors on eBay but heard AMD (Barton) are much better and are cheaper.

Which one would u recommend for basic graphic design work and programming? I do have a habit of opening a running of application at once.

AMD beats intel both in price and performance

loverboy · 09-21-2004, 02:24 PM

AMD for two years now

WTS_andy · 09-21-2004, 02:24 PM

Athlon XP 2500 w/the barton core

best all around proc for the price IMO

thats what i use at home for gaming.. running SWG and now the tribes vengenace beta and that proc runs them flawless

Just_Dave · 09-21-2004, 02:24 PM

fris · 09-21-2004, 02:25 PM

SlickCash Brock · 09-21-2004, 02:31 PM

I have my amd XP 2500 mobile processor overclocked and runnig faster than and Intel P4 3.5 gig and it only cost me $100. AMD all the way.

Slick · 09-21-2004, 02:32 PM

I have an AMD FX-53 with the 939 Socket and it ROCKS !! Definately AMD !!

AdultNex · 09-21-2004, 02:32 PM

does AMD have anything similiar to the Hyper Threading Technology of Intel ?

GiantGnome · 09-21-2004, 02:46 PM

i just got rid of an amd. it was much faster but but locked up more

Cypherpunk · 09-21-2004, 02:56 PM

I find my Itel machine more stable. The AMD also runs a lot warmer than the Intel

Zerof8 · 09-21-2004, 03:04 PM

I keeps it real son. AMD, what?

JSA Matt · 09-21-2004, 03:05 PM

Anyone that says Intel probably just bought a brand new Compaq

AMD4L

no need to overclock but hell it is good. i guess most people here go for cheap procs. NO WAY in hell AMD can beat Intel P4 with HT.

in the same category yeah yeah it has the 64 bit procs but for mortals

PENTIUM 4 ROCKS
AMD SUCKS I upgraded to pentium from ATHLON and it is the best I have seen so far.

AMD for me. I have a 2400+ and I love it had it for 2 years now and never had any problems. Im thinking of doing a upgrade to a AMD 64.

. Im not a Intel hater I like both but when I bought this computer I was looking for more bang for the buck.

supermann · 09-21-2004, 03:57 PM

AMD in every possible way

garfield81 · 09-21-2004, 04:22 PM

what amd series would u recommend ?
2600+ ??

LOVE · 09-21-2004, 04:27 PM

Intel p4 prescott 1024 cache, 800 Mhz.
from 3 Ghz.

Bigjohn · 09-21-2004, 04:31 PM

I have computers with both AMD and Intel. No difference in what runs or doesn't run, never had any compatibility problems. The last computer I built I put AMD into because I could get more bang for my buck

Freakster · 09-21-2004, 04:39 PM

I prefer my Intel computers over my AMD... from now on I plan on buying Intel only.. stability issue with AMD in my case..

I would go for an AMD Athlon 64 2800+. I looks like it has a fair price and the 64 bit model should have nice performance.

I myself has a Duron 1400. I don't think you can get them anymore, and the performance sucks donkey balls! Stability is ok though.

yeah i had a duron long time ago and did not like the performance .. so haven't been in touch with AMD's anymore. but now i hear good about them so i might get a AMD.

Thats exactly what I have. Kickass processor

johndoebob · 09-21-2004, 10:29 PM

AMD = best price / performance relation
Intel = often a bit better performance but priced way to high

It's your choice

PornGeneral · 09-22-2004, 12:17 AM

I would say go for an AMD chip. Spend what you save on getting things like an better/faster HD, ram, video card, and other goodies.

I run only opteron's which is the AMD server chips on my dedicated boxes. They blow Intel out of the water IMHO when it comes to performance. This is only in the server market though.

I personally have a Dell which came with the Intel chip.

jwerd · 09-22-2004, 12:19 AM

Amd hands down!

My boys are really into AMD right now, still learning about it.. could you tell me more about the barton core?

Vitasoy · 09-22-2004, 02:15 AM
