AMD or Intel?

Before I used to be a loyal Intel user. I got my first PC (an intel 486) then a pentium 100, then a celeron, and my last Intel was Pentium 4 1.6Ghz. After my Pentium 4 1.6ghz, I switched to AMD Athlon64 since it was cheaper than the Intel counterpart and my use was not that heavy. Since then, I have shied away from Intel processors mainly because of the price and my usage is not that heavy. I may be doing a lot of multitasking but I am still comfortable with the performance of my AMD. I just make sure to check a few things before I buy. Besides the clock speed of course, I also check the L2 cache and the FSB. The last processor I bought was Athlon64 X2 4400+. I had checked reviews and the AMD website and it was what I needed. However, the actual product I got was different since it only had a cache of 512Kb x 2 (the AMD website says it should've 1MB x 2). I immediately complained about it with the store I bought it from but I was told that in my country all stocks of 4400+ up to 5800+ only had 512KB x 2 cache. And so, I ended up trading it up for a X2 6000+.

We using a Intel processor here. But many of my friends and others using the AMD processor.From their experience i think the AMD processor have more performance. But it is according to the usage of computer,that is for what we using our system. And if we want to sell our used system then i think the Intel processor will help to get more price. Thanks

Cache Memory:- Faster, Most effective to Speed And too Costy 1. Core2Duo Is Best because It has 3MB Cache Memory (L2). AMD 5200+ has 1 MB Only. Clock Speed:- 2. Core2Duo has 2.5+2..5 (Double Core Processor). AMD Has higher then Core2Duo in This Factor. FSB:- Both AMD And core2duo Have Same FSB of 900 Cost:- AMD is Cheaper Then Core2Duo all over core 2 duo is best because There Are Many Full Fetures Board ( On Board 512 MB Grapics, Sounds, Networking, Upgradable) for core2duo but for AMD there are nothing for Upgrade

I always base my preference on the needs. If its for regular computing then its AMD, this way I could beef up video, memory and hard disk. For really serious stuff, normally price is not an issue, then Intel is the way to go. Great discussion here Underdogtoo:)

After first being dissapointed with Intel Processors I switched to AMD hoping for a better processor and was plenty rewarded. However with the new Dual-core and Quad-core processors I would probably go for Intel as they seem to be more focused now... Also they now allow overclocking which used to be an advantage of only AMD which means a lot of over-clockers and gamers have switched to Intel.

hello i really don't go a head with AMD, it's kinda Slow and lot of Troubles when u add a new Devisces or just to upgrade a RAM ... Intel is just clean and all my computers use the intel Technology.

i like intel i think intel is better good from amd

Hi underdogtoo... in my office iam using AMD Duron at home i am using Intel D. personally i prefer to buy and use Intel processor logically because it has a big share of the market meaning many people use it prefer it and buy it. it became the market leader for that reason of its quality and performance so for buying Intel got my vote! ^_^ SMILE ALWAYS...

Intel...the name needs no introduction either and has shown such a huge growth in the market and passed out other at the same time in the market too. I think Intel is the best for the processor as it is most reliable brand for the computer accessories and specially the processors...the best.I am using the Laptop Compaq 6409 presario and it is having all the Intel accessories rite from the graphic card to the processor. The processor is the Intel core 2 duo inside and it is the best and the processing speed is just ultimate so what i think is that the Intel is even better than the AMD.

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 8400 OEM, I use my computer for gaming. It work good enough for me.

i have AMD on my laptop and it's the first time i'm using it and think it's alright and it's much cheaper than the laptops with intel. i originally wanted an Intel processor but when i when to the store they only had laptop with AMD processors.
