SilverHaze420 Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 I have been an Intel guy forever but the past few months AMD has been getting better reviews. Now with Windows XP64 out mabey I should switch to AMD. I play video games like Half Life 2 and Intel LGA775 chips are better for that I think. Planning for the future it might be better to own a 64-bit chip. I'm looking to spend between 250-300 on a CPU.
RAMI7250 Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 AMD Athlon 64-Bit Processorthats very good processor!!im using him right now!
SilverHaze420 Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 WOW! Not a single vote for Intel hu? If the members of THIS forum all suggest AMD that will make me strongly consider the AMD 64 athlon.@boooggy With my budget of $200-300 for a CPU I probably can not afford dual core
boooggy Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 well i think that Athlon 64 x2 4400+ = $250. and is on socket 939!!!!!at least that' s the price i saw on neowin...
SilverHaze420 Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 OK! AMD it is! The socket 939 chip looks to be what I am looking for... ByeBye Intel. Now for motherboard. Asus mabey? Not MSI.
boooggy Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 why not msi? it seems to be one good choice. or u can try abit an8..... very nice piece of work.... but no asus....cause i read many reviews and threads on different forums and it seems that asus mainboards for socket 939 have a lot of problems.ps i have abit.
XPerties Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I'm an intel guy and will always be so I vote for intel but regarding motherboard; I have used nothing but asus for the past 7-8 years and never had one issue. In fact some of my highest overclocking against friends have blown them away with the stableness of a asus board.
SilverHaze420 Posted April 18, 2005 Author Posted April 18, 2005 Asus is #1 in my book for Pentium chips but I am not as familiar with AMD's to make the same statement with them. I can look into Abit. The reason I do not like MSI boards is I have had many problems with them before being incompatible with my hardware.
ripken204 Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 like i said before, get an nForce4 moboits a 939 type boardget one of these,they are the best boards out there:asus a8n-slithe dfi lanpartyand the msi k8n-neo
DiGGiTY Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 These are the top two boards for the AMD 939:Dfi LanParty - better for overclockingMSI k8n-Neo
