Ok I want to build a new PC and I am on a very low bugget. well not build but upgrade my current pc. But in other to upgrade I gotta get a new CPU and Mother board to go with it. Now I am worried so far I have only used Intel processors so my first thought was to buy an intel but I came across the AMD Phenom II processor 3.40Ghz 6Mb Cache And 2000Mhz FSB and at the exact same price I got the intel core 2 quad at 2.66Ghz 4mb Cash and 1333mhz FSB well the AMD is better.
I am specifically upgrading for Gaming purposes and to be able to use applications such as Multisim and Delhpi and also to run my Media Cetener for my TV Card with no problem.
Now the issue I am having with this is that a friend of mine told me that Intel is more durable that AMD and the life span on AMD is low. I would much rather buy a processor that would last me than a processor which is better but wont last me.... what are you alls views on this can you help me?
