Intel = faster

mid-high -Intel (:()
If scan ever works again I'm going to buy an AMD.
At the moment it will be a 6000+ X2 as I have decided if AM3 works on AM2+ then I might as well tide them over with an X2 which is almost certainly going to be fast enough at 3.1Ghz.
You'll really not notice the difference with ether chip it's all about the e-peen.Quote:

Kalniel and TakTak are both correct, and, i think quite helpful in their answer.
It's working for me! (Scan, by the way, is a website selling PC parts)Quote:

Do you know what you want your computer to do?
The Scan comment was due to downtime the other day due to a power outtage at the Scan volcano lair. :)Quote:

ty guys.
MSIC - yeh im making me first pc, mainly for games so needs to be fast so intel is better right?
Well yes and no. If you are buying a dedicated gfx card intel probably makes the most sense but as long as they are around 2.4Ghz and you are gaming at a reasonably high resolution then it won't make a blind bit of difference.Quote:
