Quote: "is that a fact The Coding Area? i've noticed that AMDs have a much faster system bus than intels, 1600MHz(AMD) 800MHz(Intel)...AMDs system bus is double the speed of intel!!! say we have an AMD with 2.5GHz and an intel 3.0Ghz...do i still choose the AMD becoz of its fast system bus?"
Lol, I wish that was true
But, serious.
AMD run at a FSB of 133/166/200mhz and are double-pumped.
INTEL run at a FSB of 133/166/200mhz and are double/quad-pumped.
(double-pumped means that the real tranfer speed is 2xFSB)
(quad-pumped means that the real transfer speed is 4xFSB)
For example:
The AMD Athlon 2500+ XP runs at 1833mhz but is faster than a INTEL P4 2500mhz!
Your best bet will be the AMD (PC2) It's cheaper (I think) and runs just as fast with games (MMX, 3DNOW and SSE support).
Believe me, I only use AMD's, INTEL's are too expensive. (Check my sig
)
Maybe some useless advice:
You might want to consider to buy computer parts and put them together, it will be faster than the ones above:
Asus A7N8X-X motherboard $70
512mb pc2700 ram $50
AMD Athlon 2500+ (barton 512kb cache) $70
Geforce 4 ti 4200 64/128mb videocard $90
Hercules Fortissimo III soundcard $50
80GB Maxtor harddisk $70
52x CD-ROM no-brand $30
Floppy Drive $10
10/100mbps Intel PRO network card $15
Cheap Midi Tower case + 300W or better $50
$570 at max! And believe me, that setup would run fast!
