Not true. Intel CPUs price:performance is better than AMD at the moment. I prefer AMD to Intel but I would still buy an Intel chip.styphon wrote:Now that AMD own ATI, and with AMD being the best in the cpu's for gaming, you gotta go with the ATI. But make it an 1800XT.
I also prefer Nvidia to ATI but that's because the ATI Linux drivers are terrible.

Well, looking at quite a few benchmarks it seems to me that the current Intel CPUs win at everything.styphon wrote:Its not a case of price on performance, the architectural structure of AMD's means they are better for gaming. They also run cooler.

That's Pentium 4's dude (see date of August 2005). The Athlon 64's kicked their butts but the Intel Core 2 Duo processors now kick the Athlon 64's butt.

Same here and I had an even bigger handicap. I am 48..........with all the shortcomings that come with age, blindness, slow and not has handsome as I once was........lol.matsif wrote:yea build your own...I did it and I am 16
Jeez matsif.........you are at the prime of your ability to learn, hand eye coordination and lack of steady live-in ladyfolk to distract you. You are at the summit and only maturity that brings patience and the ability to get your responsible side to negotiate reasonably well with your gamer side, will make you any more qualified for such things, if you are lucky that is.
Revel in your youth...........You only get one pass.........appreciate your potential.........it is almost limitless at 16.
But still..........good for you for building that pc and not getting mom to buy one while you veg on the coach watching CRIBS on MTV. You are way ahead of your peers in that respect as well.
I am suitably impressed now that I think about what my kids did in their spare time at sixteen........omg.
