you do promote fanboyism, only it's for intel. there's nothing wrong with being a fan of either company, so let's not be hypocritical.
first, the argument i make has been made before, it's his money and if he trusts amd, that's what he will get. so why not help crazeD with his build instead of coming down on him for not sharing your loyalty?
second, and i have said this many times as well...it is not a REQUIREMENT of being a member of these forums to post a reply to every topic. if the only advice offered is, "you suck", well... that's what's pathetic.
there is nothing pathetic about that build. there's nothing pathetic about my build. as far as gaming, the rig he (and i as well) have will run high settings and fast speeds as well as anyof the c2d's. now, if he was buying a rig to be top dog in benchmarks (lol so the f---- what?), or to do some hard-core rendering, it would be retarded to buy amd AT THE MOMENT. for the money, i think it is a pretty darn good rig. and it will play any game out. lol, my sig used to say, "my 95 fps looks the same as your 125." and it does.
I don't think he's showing fanboyism for intel, he's simply trying to suggest what is the better product right now. Advantages flip flop between companies all the time. Intel does have the better processor at the momment, but that doesn't mean that AMD isn't a great company, it was simply intels turn to swing. This is just like the NvidiavsATI debates, Nvidia has the best card out right now, but the r600 is right around the corner and will be very competetive. If people would get over fanboyism and just buy whats best then there wouldn't be a problem. A core2duo is pretty much the same price as a x2 4200, and it outperforms it in most cases. But hey, it's your money man, I would suggest a core2duo, but AMD isn't too shabby either.
