    Amd curently offers a suppiror product at a cheeper price.
    ..... But in the older days amd was problem matic and it was much worth the extra $50 for the intel equlivlent.

    Tomshardware proved that curent amd's are more stable then curent intel hardware too :)

    Both of course!!

    I love my AMD system, I like Intel as well though, but as already said, they are not as cool :D

    I guess someone should post the difference though... I don't even know anymore, been out of the overclocking and weekly upgrade game for quite a long time so many things forgotten or downright obsolete.

    Advantages of an AMD system:
    1. Price advantage (but nearly as great as it used to be)
    2. performance advantage (with the A64 class machines for sure)
    3. easier to cool
    4. a little cheaper on electric bill (I can't rmember the website but 1 website actually measures the watts used by systems they benchtest)

    Advantages of Intel system:
    1. Name recognition
    2. hyperthreading on P4 machines(how much it helps depends on the apps)
    3. Lockup with Dell (nuff said, they are sole source supplier so far, of the largest oem around)
    4. design and actively market their own motherboard chipsets (AMD does it only when they have to)

    Definitely. I use P4s and Xeons at work. Their heat output is INCREDIBLE. After running a new Xeon in a Dell for 2 hours at full load, the room was warm enough open up a window. And I work at an elevation of 7200 ft, it's not warm outside :)

    ;D

    That sounds like the server I fold on! 100% load 24/7 ;D

    I wish they'd let me fold :(. I just had ArcMap busy geocoding a couple million addresses for awhile. That's ok though, I logged some quality Microsoft Pinball time on the laptop while it was busy :thumbsup:

    Hey Garg, can you just plug a thumb drive into a usb port with the client on it and fold on the thumb drive?

    Hmm, there's a thought. I could set it up to ask before it try to send/recieve, right?

    The only thing is that when this runs at full load, the room gets hot and the box gets loud (load-controlled cpu fan... weird Dell voodoo). Then again, if I'm adding 3.4 Ghz to my folding power, I think I'll just open a window and wear headphones :)

    Yes you can make it ask before send/recieve.

    Amds are better for games and office procducts hands down.

    Intels have the advantage with Audio and video encoding type stuff because of the high clock speeds and use of SSE3 and other Intel optimizations.

    Intel does have the best Mobile CPU out by far and that is the only Intel product I own. The P-M is incedible and clearly the best thing Intel has over done. Their marketing department wasnt involved with the design of the P-M like it seem like it was with the P4.
