Whats better, AMD or INTEL?
 
What kind of chip should I buy and what are the advantages of either one of them besides speed?

neither, cyrix is the way to go. I have heard that a quad 386 25 SX will put any dual P3 rig to shame.

Okay, seriously though, this topic has been on this forum way to many times, you are not going to find a definite answer to you're question so all you should do is flip a coin or look through some of the older topics that asked the same thing.

I have an Intel P75 for sale if anyone is interested.

Here we go with the war again.....ok, lemee hereby cast my vote...go buy a Transmeta. http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin...lies/cwm12.gif

Seriously, I'm an Athlon guy....their performance is equal clock-for-clock to a P3, and an Athlon 1.2 will outperform a Pentium 4 1.5. A Pentium III will give you great performance too. You know what the biggest deciding factor is between the CPUs? Which motherboard you want. Find the motherboard you like, from the company you like, with the features you want...if it's available in both, then flip a coin...but if it's only available for 1 CPU, then you're decision's made! http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin...lies/cwm32.gif

Both (AMD/Intel) are fine processors, with each having a small edge in a smattering of benchmarks, depending on which you place more faith in. Neither cpu on a quality MB is going to seem "slow" in any reasonable application, and frankly, for games with typical preferred high resolutions, it's a toss-up due to video card performance anyway.(I'm referring strictly to the P3/T-bird comparisons...Durons are nice too, but T-Birds have come down so much in price lately.) (And darn, those T-Birds have nice prices lately!)

Advantages: Niether will fit in a MAC.

Disadvantages: Niether will run UNIX

Seriously, whatever is on sale. Search around, figure out exactly what you need the most, and get what fits your standards.

As someone else said find the mobo you like and if it supports both figure out what you want to spend
amd is a little lower in price than intel
both are good processors.
(personal preference is amd tbird)
by the way both processors will run linux and unix

Directions???? What are directions?????

I wonder if this new version of the Bulletin Board that Scott installed has a way of filtering out AMD vs. Intel topics, just like it does with swear words????

I prefer the IDT WinChip 200 on a nice PC Chips board

I heard that AMD has a overheating problem, is this true?
