This is a system based around AMD, built around a 3800+ venice proccessor and for the same price shown here but with 3.4ghz P4 LGA775 (the ones with the wierd completly ungrounded names) with a few things taken off, like slower RAM even though it was DDR2, i would have had to get a 5.1 sound system instead i wouldnt get 64 bit proccesing and wouldnt get SLi i sware there is more things that i fell down on just to get an intel, oh well AMD are cheap n cheerful and if i'm gonna spend £1500+ on a computer cheap is good

P.S. gonna buy this on a cool website www.ebuyer.com really good and cheap.

I have AMD athlon 1600 it is getting hot after about 10 minute and the fan kicks in and it is too noisy. I have two other computer having pentium 3 and the other has pentium 4 both ran smoothly. I even never turn of my pentium 3 computer for a year now and never get hot and not even get noisy. it seems that my pentium 3 500 Mhz processor ran faster than my AMD athlon 1600. so I will vote for Intel. Intel is better than AMD

Fan too noisy. I think you fan life is going to end. Fan noise normally come from vibration of the fan not the wind. So you might consider to replace the fan.

The P1 chips owns all those chips hands down

Right now intel holds the place for fastest cpu, the intel core 2 duo extreme. But, as a lot of people say, amd processors are much cheaper than intel ones. Some time next year, amd will become faster again by creating quadruple cpu cores.

As a card carrying AMD fan...I was shocked when INTEL introduced it's line of Core Duo processors..still I think it's great cuz that means we all get to watch for AMD response

Amd has responed by making all of their processors much cheaper and affordable by about like $200 bucks or more!

IF you have the money, and you're buying the cpu strictly for gaming, go with the CoreDuo2's from Intel. But, if you want to game on a budget, go with the Athlon64's. With the exception of dual core cpu's (and the XP's), all processors are relatively cheap right now. And if you are worried about heating issues, then you'll want to go with a 65nm Pentium 4. The Cedar milll chips are very favorably priced and perform quite well.
I have several flavors of intel and amd, and I personally prefer my Pentium III 1.4GHz 133MHz processor. BUt i use my AMD64 4000+ to play all my pc games with, Titan Quest, Battle for Middle-Earth II, Guild Wars. And I use my P IV 531cedar Mill for editing and rendering.

which is the best AMD processor and how gud is compared to the latest pentium....forgeting the cost.

Hey, does anyone out there no which amd cpu is better? I used to think amd 64 x2 and 64 fx were the same but i dont know anymore. which one is newer?
