i would say amd i have two systems one with intel and another with amd i enjoy the amd a lot more it runs at a lower heat and is very reliable the intel isent bad but its more of a backup computer for me it just doesnt perform the way i would expact it to they are basicly the same processor only amd one is a few months newer
Well I am assuming you are talking about a socket 478 intel, in which case, you would get better performance from one of the new socket 478 intel core duo yohna cpus.
003 did i miss something :amazed: i thought yohnah was socket 479 like the pentium M except with one pin migrating to a different position to make it pin incompatable with the old boards.
They aren't really good for gaming. They aren't bad at it by any means, but they dont like...excel at it better than a normal single core CPU. You could simply burn a DVD while playing a game without losing and FPS though. BUT, of course in the future games will take advantage of dual cores and be multithreaded and then it will be an improvement.
One thing to realize with dual cores that I just realized today myself, is that you will need to do some hotfixes so that it works 100% efficiently. Theres issues in games without the hotfixes. Seems annoying, but I guess in the end it'll be worth it. You'd just have to do it everytime you formatted your computer as well.
