What are your system specs?

Why does everyone have AMD Athlons? Is it the value for price, upgrade options, or what? I always heard/thought that Athlons were cheaper with poorer performance, in opposition to the Intel chips.

amd = gaming
intel = working

Heyyo,

Indeed. Check the amd vs intel thread.. we've said this many-a-posts too.

AMDs are more stable than Intel.
They may run a bit hotter, but when forceing them at full load, overclocking or even lowering core voltage for cooler cpu temps they run stable and hardly crash as compared to intel.
The difference in stability is why gamers use AMD instead of intel.
