What CPU?

**Cew27** · #11 3rd Jan 2008, 12:59

the intel quad core is miles better than the amd quads. by far google will reinforce this fact

But how does the AMD 6400+ one shape up. Is it better than AMDs quad? Is AMDs quad gonna improve over the next yr?

My AMD Turion 64x2 TL-56 in my laptop has been brilliant. I had a friend about 12mths ago who put an Intel in his, and it was nothing but trouble. I'm just the type of person who runs Linux (windows when gaming) and loves AMDs. Would I regret not buying AMD in about a year or so? I'll do some more research on Intels...what is better though - there dual or quad cores? Thanks

No problem.

But I wouldn't be surprised if AMD was sold next year.

Anyone reading: Remember I said that.

and's quads are to be honest .... terrible, all of the new gaming rigs feature intel processors, even the us missiles have intels (i should of said that seing as there seems to be a problem with friendly fire)
trust me ... you wont regret making the switch
just google amd vs intel and have a read

You know, I'm that confident that AMD will be sold either in part or fully that yes, you can.

OK then...If they aren't sold in part or fully, will you put an AMD in your computer?

I wouldn't put an AMD in anyone's computer.

Right then...For all Intel lovers I m gonna seriously consider an Intel CPU. But going back to my original question, which is better the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition or the AMD Phenom 9600?

**Cew27** · #20 3rd Jan 2008, 14:41

the intel
