Re: AMD or Intel

I'm more of an AMD guy myself. All my older computers run 800-1000mhz celerons but my newer machines only run on AMD. I have never had any overheating problems with them and they're cheaper in the long run.

Also what I enjoy about AMD chips is that they keep the same chipset configuration, at least for the chips I am using. What upset me about Intel is that on the older P4's, they suddenly switched to a different config. That kinda worries me as I like inter-changeable processors (switching from one computer to another to see any boost in preformance). I don't want to have to buy a new mobo because Intel suddenly released a new chipset.

Another problem I have with Intel is that they are continually flooding the market with new chips (a.k.a. those little letters at the end of the processor type). Most of the time, the speed gained is not that substantial and I think they are fooling customers into buying more chips unnecessarily.

Rant of the AMD person. If you have more than one computer, just link the processors to gain extra power. Cheaper than buying a new chip.
