I have a PIII 800... And i like Intel... The only thnig i know is the AMD is beats INTEL in velocity (i think)... But the motherboard for AMD is more expensive!

I'll stick with Intel. Reading several messages here, I was interested in Anthlon but then when I noticed people discussing a heating problem the interest vanished.

So, yes, Intel P4.

its not really a real big problem :) its just hotter then a intel chip set :rolleyes: u can fix this anyways by just buying fans or any kooling device :D

Most people here seem to have OLD Pentium 3's

They dont need much cooling.

If would be more fair to compare P4 1500mhz and you would need a case fan with one of those.

Ive got an AMD Athlon 2000+ OC to 2200+ and i have only 1 Standard low RPM Case fan thats Older than me, ( ime 18 ) and ime using a Stock Standard AMD Cooler.

CPU temp never goes over 53 Degrees and i run Folding@Home that keeps my cpu at 100% :)

Theres no Heating Problem, AMD simply heats a little more, but no Problems

id have to say athlon xp cause of price, but yeah, they do run hotter, but if this presents a problem, which it shouldn't, buy better hs\fans.

Just my opinion :)

Cazzman.

Hot?! Just buy a good fan, lol.

I got a Coolermaster fan, its a beast, lol, my CPU never goes over 34oC!! Now don't say thats not good :)

I have had a P3 800Mhz, was good, not excellent for games, then i got an Athlon 1800+, now i got an Athlon 2400+, and soon im upgrading to an Athlon 3000+ so for me i think Athlons' rock tbh.

I would choose whatever overclocks best! ... Which currently is a P4 2.4C which can hit 3.5 with ease :rolleyes: ... Anyway, I'm stuck with my 2.4B on a crappy soltek board, so I guess I'll have to keep dreaming about that :)

CRAPPY SOLTEK BOARD ??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes::D

It would be your chipset choice not Soltek.

Soltek are excellent and dont overprice their boards.

Ive got a KT400 Soltek Board, It runs faster than some other brands... and as good as some
