Hey guys I am going to go for the AMDs as they are alot cheaper... but one issue... in term of Durability.... AMD doesn't suck right? as anyone bough an AMD processor I died within lets say 5 years of use?
i think the average life span of a CPU is rated at around like 100,000 hours of use(read it somewhere on the specs of a intel chip or something). That translates into over 11 years of working time. OC it..maybe cut the life in half(over estimating) you still have 5-6 years in the life of the chip. And most people replace their computers more often than once every 5 years so I think you are safe.
( I know I said that was an intel spec but I'm sure AMD's is the same or close to it...either way their durability isn't something you need to worry about )
11 years. ha. CPU's will last alot longer than that.
i have a athalon XP from 1999 still chugging along
