Come Christmas, Santa's gonna be bringing me a new processor. My question is, which should I go with? I've heard AMD is faster and cheaper, but I want to get all your opinions on this. How's compatibilty? Overheating? Etc, etc. Thanks

 

[FireGL]

it depends were you want to use it!!
overall AMD

 

[Arpanet]

Games, baby. It's all about the games. Nice 3D games like Ghost Recon, Max Payne, etc.

 

[FireGL]

then go for geforce 3 :evil:

ok amd is the best but if you leave in hot country then you should look for a nice cooler

no doubt buy amd...

have an amd Athlon Xp 1600 and it works good...if u buy an amd...don't forgot to buy a nice motherboard,may be an a7vt266(something like that) with an Via KT266A chipset

 

[Betamax]

I'd go with the amd chip... then again I've had one since my 486 days.

 

[SIR_LINX]

i think Athlon Xp is the best

be sure to buy a good mobo to avoid problem

 

[Enigma1982]

By perfermance and price I think you should go with AMD

an av7t266 mobo is very good...

I think that going for a P4 will not be that bad.........but AMD is very good in case of price and performance....!

BTW why is it that the quality mobo of amd cpu is more expensive than the mobo for intel cpu

AMD CPU= cheap
mobo for amd cpu= Expensive
Intel cpu= Expensive
mobo for intel cpu= cheap

AMD ALL THE WAY! i am using a measly k6-2 500, and it is very stable, and running apps and games @ a good speed when i upgrade @ christmas, i am getting a ATHLON XP 1600

This is not correct......I got my motherbaord for 110 $. I know it is not a godd motherboard contains a VIA 133 chipset.........but it was the best at that time. Know if you got for Via K266A chipset then the mobo will cost your around 200 to 300$......I am not sure.

The newer the motherbaord and higher the price. Well the intel motherboards are quite expensive as compared to it...........not much but they are. Try to get an original Intel mobo and you will know how much it costs the p$ mobo is around 180$ over here were I live. Where as of AMD it is 110$.........but if I want to get an nForce or k266A mobno then the cost will be same as that of intel.
