Cpu Selection

[deakinusa]

i currently have a 1.7 P4 and its slow for encoding. i encode avi/mpeg to mpeg 4 for my psp and need to choose a new cpu mobo combo. i newegged and so far chose the P4 530J and MSI Mobo with 1gb corsair value ram ddr2. its around $450. so should i pick this for encoding or go the Amd route. I know they are a little cheaper but heard intels are better for encoding. just looking for some input thanks

for encoding, go intel

a decent intel and 1 gig ddr2 ram should do

go intel for encoding for sure,

AMD = gaming

Intel = Everything else

ok i guess intell then. thanks for the suggestion but i wasnt planning on spending 800 for the setup. can someone tell me the difference between the intel 530J and the 530? thanks

The Intel 530J supports Intel's Execute Disable Bit feature, which can prevent certain types of virus attacks, mostly Buffer overflow attacks.

No it's more like this

AMD = Gaming

Intel = Video

In everything else their pretty equal

Accept the facts. AMD cant have the best of both worlds.
