Just out of curiosity what do you know about either, Other than what you read on sites like this! I am not saying that you don't have some good points I am just curious on your interaction level with the two. I personally am a lead PC Tech for FireDog @ Circuit City. Truly there is no comparison in laptop or desktop PC's. I can't speak to the server processors really as I don't really deal with them. But how many people use servers compared to have a PC ? I was an Intel Pentium person when they introduced P4. I have since made a complete 180 turn on that. I won't bore you with the details of what made me switch, I do however want to share my REAL WORLD experience that Intel can't deny with all the Advertising in the world. On every PC be it Laptop Or Desktop That I setup for a customer. Everything about the computer is identical but the processor. The Amd units absolutely smoke the intels when it comes to anything I do on them. Example installing Norton Internet Security 2007 takes 4 times as long to install on an intel product. The full system scan takes longer then that. What I have also noticed at work that intel's still have not fixed there bottleneck problem. Laptops and Desktops that are only running a simple powerpoint demo constantly lock up. The funniest part of that is that the powerpoint is installed and designed by Intel. So if they can't even create a powerpoint presentation that doesn't freeze up their processors, Do you really want them designing your processor? I have conducted my own benchmark tests on the new systems we get in like every six weeks and the lowest end AMD 64 bit Single core out performs Intel's Best Chip. In fact The Turion X2 Tl-52 Out performs Intel's Highest end Desktop Processor. That to me is down right sad. You pay less for AMD, You get about 1000 percent the speed and reliability, I Don't understand why anyone is still buying Intel. In my position I have converted thousands from Intel to AMD and the struggle continues to date. But I know so much about both that no one can deny that AMD is the only way to go. In Closing for those of you that are smart enough to already have an AMD 64 Processor Media Center PC. Check Out The free benefits of having it @ amdlive.com Peace Out Fellow SuperGeeks Bmftech4126
