I'm just saying it seems so odd that a year ago, they had all this for so cheap when a year ago, I dont even think they started touching on smart shader 3.0 or anything. But yeah, this shouldnt have even been started and this thread should go back to topic.

Haha I am curious as to why you sport Intel over AMD. I'll admit Intel's current Conroe Core 2 Duo kicks Amd athlon X2 and FX 62 's butt in every aspect, but I am more of a practical person and I stick to AMD's better bang for your buck tradition.

Processors happens to be my specialty because where I work I deal with them. I wanna hear ur input as to why u sport intel over amd. I wont argue with you on nvidia over radeon.

Im a person of the tradition that AMDs run too hot, and my house runs too hot, in addition, I dont think they have a solid chipset. Ive never seen an AMD box impress me.

As for ATI? I gave them a chance when I got the p2 that replaced the burnt k6. I gave them another shot about 10 years later with my thinkpad
they fucked up both times.

I wont be buying from them again unles I have to

Unoverclocked stock AMD's arent exceptionally hot. For the X2 4000 and higher stock temperature with the manufacturer's fan is about 55 C which isn't too bad. AMD chips are safe up to about 95 C

And I run my Intels at high tempratures, and they take it, my last AMD didnt take it. Its a prefernce on exeperience.

So i presume your preference of intel over amd is based on the ability to push chips to their limits? I don't really overclock my cpu so I guess you could be right then.

No I dont overclock. My house has no AC and gets hot in the winter, I need a chip that can preform and not heat up quickly. AMD chips, in my experience, heat quicker, cool slower, and give less power/heat than Intel chips.

But AMD chips are faster than Intel

For the purpose of this thread, i've seen many many insane computers

I actually know this guy and he won best case mod for the past 2 Quakecons.

Specs:

Motherboard: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe nForce4 SLI-x16 Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Dual Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE 1394, Dual PCI-E MB

CPU: AMD Athlon-64 X2 4600+ CPU w/ Hyper Transport Technology

CPU cooler: CoolerMaster Liquid CPU Cooling Fan System Kit

RAM: 2048 MB

HDD: 300gigs

Video card: 2X Nvidia GeForce 7900GTX 512MB w/DVI + TV Out video

CD/DVD Drive: 1 All in Wonder drive (Blue-ray, cd writer, dvd writer. Every imaginable write technique)

I think that pretty much explains it. So yeah, that's the best computer i'll see in a while..

blindrockerstylz2 · 09-14-2006, 06:11 PM

Thats a damn nice setup he's got there, *envious*.

But I do totally support ATI and AMD, Deus Ex Machina, you prolly got that though. You just quoted me then commented so I didn't know if you got that or not.

But yeah, back to that case, HOLY CRAP!!!!

Actually, in my experience, the intel chips more than hold their own when actually having work thrown at them. an Intel chip is lazy till you push it. AMD chips are snappy until you push them then they just act as toasters.

The core 2 chip blows AMD as a whole away anyway.

AMD is better price over performance.
Intel is if you just want to have the best out there.

AMD suitable for gaming
Intel suitable for multitasking video editing etc.

That about summed it up perfect.

OMG! I thought that all premade computers simply sucked ass real hard..... I got 2 computers made by Acer... Somehow they are missing something to be the best premade computer I will ever have.....

Fortunately, these computers also begun my passion for learning a lot more about computers....

*phuzion* · 09-20-2006, 02:52 PM

Hey guys, let's make a new thread for AMD versus Intel.

xybur · 09-20-2006, 02:59 PM

So the computer is what the dude is sitting on right Paul?

Yep, that's right... Maybe that how he won the modding competitions, by trying out things that others wont.... I reckon that he will create a computer that we step on... =)

And can someone tell me what's this?
