HI,

Sorry, but I have to disagree Dave. For what he wants to do, and if he
wants no headaches doing it, the Intel class machine will be much
smoother for him over the life of the system.

I sell both products to dealers, and every day I see more and more of
the once diehard AMD dealers, switching back to the Intel camp.  They
are tired of early failures and the finikyness of the AMD products.  Not
all but enough.

AMD is great for what is it,  but an Intel system built the same day,
with all the same components except chip mainboard and fan, will be
running much longer and with less problems to the operator of that
system, than an AMD system will.

If you want to tweak and experiment, go AMD.  If you want it to just run
and run well, go Intel

In my humble opinion, based on experience.

Joe Lore

If that's all they're doing then no, they shouldn't notice a performance
difference, but if they discover gaming or video editing, then there
will be a noticeable difference. Split the difference and go with an
Athlon and make everyone happy.
