Amd 1900+

[kazaaliterock]

i am currently building a pc for a friend of mine, and was wondering if a amd 1900 palomino is good enough....i heard it is quite faster than the p4 2.0ghz in most task...is that true? he play games but only occasionally....and he has a 5600ultra to back up this cpu...so should this cpu be faster than his current 1.8ghz celeron cpu?

im thinking of picking up 2...one for him, one for my moms system....i do a video encoding on my moms comp...and w/ here 1.8 celeron...it usually take about 2hours to encode a 700mb avi to mpg....you think that time will decrease/increase w/ this 1900?

it's hard to say exactly, but here's a comparison picture which should give you an idea :)

looking at that chart, im thinking of lowering my friends cpu down to a 1700 becuz he thinking of this as a secondary pc....

you do know that you can't fit an Amd cpu into an Intel board, don't you?
don't want to patronise you if you already knew :)

ok, sorry about that
i just didn't know if you knew or not and couldn't let you go out and potentially waste money

Give him a little more credit than that, I think I was running a 10gb when I had a PII. :smilie4:
