I would have to say Intel. I mean, they have the latest technology.....


They also spend a lot of money to develop new technology. The newest and most powerful chips are always released by Intel first.


But, on the other hand, if we are talking about value, I would say AMD. They are cheaper....

If I had the money, I would always go with Intel.

Actually you are right on that, Intel comes up with technologies faster, but AMD is so much cheaper!

while Intel does have some nifty technology behind them, amd definitely gives the most bang for your buck.

If cheapness didn't matter, my high-rise apartment in Tokyo and my summer house in Hong Kong would be filled with Intel processors, SCSI HD, and imported American soft drinks! tongue.gif roflmao.gif roflmao.gif

neither. both are gonna support m$'s monopoly with palladium which we all know m$ will use to lock out other developers who don't license palladium and drm from them. until there's a chip company that will just tell m$ to stay out of the chip/hardware designing business in order to hide their own security shortcomings and suck thier a$$, i won't be buying a new computer anytime soon. and longhorn? you can have that dead cow for all i care.

I just built my new kick zzzcensored.gif comp. and here r my specs.
200 Gb 7200 8mb cache. WD Hard Drive
512 ddr 400 pc 3200 with built on heat sink
19" Hitachi LCD Monitor
Lian Li pc 75b case (6 5-1/4 bays,11 3-1/2" bays)black with side window
ATI 9800 pro
sound blaster audigy 2 plat. with black face plat
480 blue power supply
11 fans!!!
6 80mm
2 on power supply
2 plus heatsink for hard drive
1 PCI slot circulator air deal(take sup no slots on MB just on the case)
and one on my cpu that came with it but im goin to upgrade
And i use an AMD 2700 xp to power my big blue b****(most of my fans are blue+i have a dule tube blue light)
and it all cost me including tax and shipping
$2900

Nice!

I want more fans on my computer. There's something about that air flow sound that makes it sound more powerful. tongue.gif I walk at the testboard and I hear all the Cisco,Nortel etc equipment fans and it's just a great sound!

What I don't like is high pitched fans, but 120mm fans like the ones I want won't be a problem. I'll probably buy some shortly and add them to the side of my case. I'll order them wholesale once I get setup with a supplyer. dancingbanada.gif

I use intel not by choice, but when the monetary funds allow me to build my dream machine it will be running an AMD Oc'ed.
