Intel or Amd ???

[Detale]

Intel is better as far as power and speed but as the old saying goes if you want to play you gotta pay. Now they are not that much more expensive but I guess I will ask the same question for the 3rd time. I am deff one of the aforementioned die hard Intel fans

What is the machine going to be used for mainly?

That's presumably why clocker asked what the machine is required to do.

Actually, I'm just nosey.

When it comes to upgrading for me the best is to buy the fastest processor I can afford and then overclock the shit out of it. On my current processor I'm getting 800Mhz overclock with crazy FSB so it boosts performance a lot and saves me money insetad of just buying the top of the line processor.

The same goes for video card and RAM. Always try to get quality parts well within your budget.

Buying cheap ass parts will give you crappy performance and not much for overclocking and even if you do some overcloking it might be crappy performance.

Intel for gaming.... no discussion AMD is no longer as good as it was some years ago.... AMD is just for solitaire users

it wasnt that long ago we were all touting intel was dead with the release of AMD 64 chips... not picking a fight my quad core leaves everything for dead and eats benchmarks for breakfast just for the fun but dont be too quick to write them off. though I do agree theyre not up to standard, neither were Intel at the time of AMD64 dominance, the P4 was awful... I know... I had one!
