i will buy intel as its stable and i have neva had probs .. so y shud i change ?
Does that mean AMD is Unstable ? and has problems ? What kind of a reason is that ? :roll:
and amd well i would have gone for amd but it has all increased the prices of all its processors .. amd used to be cheap and value for money when it came in the market
Care to explain this ?
Come on man dont just make vague statements before finding out the facts.
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 939 Pin CPU = 7200/- whereas
Intel Pentium 4 3.0 LGA 775 - 9,000/-
Intel Pentium 4 2.8 LGA 775 - 8,500/-
What does this indicate ????
now as it has occupied a larger share, its becoming more n more expensive.. no doubt the perfomance is good but price also matters. see the dual cores for instance ... intel is priced in my reach and amd is well way way too expensive.
Huh ??? :roll:
Dude the X2 is in a totally different league than the Intel Dual Cores.
And i guess you have forgotten that the Intel chips need a newer mobo so that the Dual cores work flawlessly.
Whereas the X2 works on current Boards based on 939 Pin Socket.
Now you only do that math to see what works out beneficial.
Now take for example
I have a 2.8GHz LGA 775 with DDR1 board.I have money to buy the basic Dual core,
I just cant get the CPU,i need 955 based board for that,which will be minimum 12-13k,this is ofcourse over optimistic price.Then i need DDR2 RAM even if i decide to get 512MB i have to shell out min 6k for it.
Total cost involved -
Intel Pentium D 820 i guess,dont remember - 313$ [am i right ?] = 14,00/-
Asus 955 Board - 225 $ = 10,000
512MB DDR2 - 6000
Total - 30,000/-
Now consider this scenario-
i have Asus A8N SLI Deluxe mobo with 3000+ 939 cpu with 1 GB DDR400
Now i have money to get Basic X2 that is 4200+ which costs approx 538$
Which is approx 23,672/-
I get the chip ,install on the board,update BIOS and my system is up and running flawlessly.
Decde for yourself what is cheaper.
