AMD or Pentium for dedicated?
 

what do you guys think?

what will you be hosting?

I dont think it matters one way or another

Just if its a gaming box. In that case AMD. But otherwise doesnt much matter.

just wondering if there's a real reason why P4 is more expensive

AMD for me...

because the pricing of the actual processor is a bit more...

I have both, and clients on either and really no ssues ... so go with the price.

I prefer AMD as well

:2 cents:

now I'm on AMD Athlon 64 X2, but I heard that new Pentium processor faster!
but of coz AMD will announce new processor very soon, so this is never ending game!

Assuming similiar specs (e.g. CPU's that perform largely similiarly) there isn't going to be any noticeable difference on your end. The host end is where it matters, and honestly to you it shouldn't. There are a number of considerations hosts should make when sourcing equipment. One is having a large supply of spare parts/servers/etc. in event of failure. The other is having knowledge to support said hardware platform, another cost of the platform, and yet another the power usage requirements.

All in all, most hosting generally doesn't hit CPU really at all. Generally you will get much more performance increases out of additional RAM, and disk I/O.

I have no idea, but I dont like AMD... Go for Pentium!
