Man, this guy (Kuqdew) is articulate. Get Intel. That says it all. Cannot argue with that kind of logic. A very good arguement. I am rushing right out to do that and to buy their stock as well. Isn't is funny how some people can say so much in so few words. Give him a dope slap.

I was always an intel man, but I went amd this time round and the 2800 is a great chip. I'm sure the newer amd chips will continue to wipe the floor with intel

Reply to stunt2061. You picked a very respectable P4 to compare to a modest AMD. IT IS NO CONTEST FOR ME. I would go with the P4, but I WOULD HAVE TO PAY MORE.
I hate the caps lock key with a passion. Does anyone know how to disable it?

Definately get AMD, AMD owns Intel ;). I've been using AMD since the Duron CPU, and now I have the Athlon 64 3400+ and I love it. Dont just look at the clock speed, new AMD chips have the memory controller integrated inside the CPU which blows up the FSB speed. That's why north bridge is eliminated on AMD Athlon 64 motherboards.

Plus you are comparing a 32 bit CPU to 64 bit CPU, so you are like comparing apples and oranges. If you compare AMD64 to Intel's 64 bit CPU, IA64, AMD still wins because AMD64 is backwards compatible with 32 bit applications where as Intel's isnt.

I have Windows XP Pro 64 Bit Edition and it runs perfectly on my AMD and I can run both 32 and 64 bit programs.

I don't think heat will be a huge factor as long as you have adequete cooling. I like the option of overclocking with AMD just keep it cool

well just looking at the speed difference 3.0ghz(intel) and 2.0ghz(AMD)and also the price the Intel costs more just like biberial said.

I dont really care i have both of em right in front of me rite now. so i have a choice which one i want to use as im not using this pc for alot of gaming i guess ill go with the Intel 3.0ghz rather than the AMD 2.0 ghz

If it's not for hardcore gaming then it's the best choice.

@ Stunt2061

just to make sure, you are considering the AMD Athlon 64 2800+ not the AMD Athlon XP 2800+ right?

Have you looked at the FSB of both CPU's too? if you did what are they?
