I'm thinking of buying a new computer soon with an AMD processor and I'm an AMD virgin. I've been doing some research and I found many sites and people saying AMDs run hotter than Intels. I want to buy a computer for gaming, and I looked at the sticky topic on AMD vs. Intel, and a few people in there said AMDs are better for gamiing, so that's a plus. My question is the heat though.
Here's the computer I might buy: Click Here
I'm planning on sticking an ATI Radeon X800 XL in there, and taking a gig of RAM out of my current computer and placing it in there (both are PC3200), so that new comp would have a total of 2 GB RAM.
How much heat can I expect from that computer once I'm done? Like I said earlier, I'm completely new to AMD processors. Will I need to buy a better heatsink or fans, or will stock be good?
