I have never purchased an AMD anything, and I have been a PC user for 20 years.
We all know every thing there is to know about intel processors.
You buy a pentium 4 and the faster GHZ the better. The celeron is entry level crap.
I am pricing new parts to build my first PC but I don't even know the first thing about what is a new AMD card, whats old, whats fast, whats slow.
Could someone break down in a very thumb nail sketch kind of fashion what are the current AMD CPUs and what are the ranges of speeds that are out there.
The only thing I do know is that they tend to be cheaper and more widely available from re-sellers. So I am considering going the way of the AMD for the first time.
If cost of the AMD processors is the Pro, What are the Cons?
