SilverHaze420 Posted April 17, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekenaar Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 My vote is for AMD64.Very satisfied with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverHaze420 Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPerties Posted April 18, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverHaze420 Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share 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.
