Gryph Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 Pentiums are better for non-gaming things like video editing and stuff like that. The difference is negligible though so it basically boils down to brand preference. But the Athlon 64s are great for gaming.
SpyderX Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 Hey guys i think i am going to get an AMD Athlon 64 939pin 3500+... but i am not sure if i should get DDR2 yet. The motherboard for the amd 939pin cpus are expensive plus the actual processor. so i dont think i can afford fast DDR2. I want to spend $2000 AUSTRALIAN. thanx guys PS. Gryphonklaw how come u never are on aim. I read a post about u helping me with roms since my hdd crashed.

I want to spend $2000 AUSTRALIAN.If you ask me, the 3200+ 7xx pins work just as a good. Their almost out of the market and going cheap. Pair your self up with some DDR400 Ram and a brane preference for your mobo (ASUS FOR EVER!) and your all set. Cost me about 900 bucks Canadian (which is like, yeah) Problem with the 7xxs is that it doesn't have the Dual Channel ablitity like the 939's. Unless like. You want a full PC o.o
SpyderX Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 i want a full system 600gigs of hdd space.
Gryph Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 PS. Gryphonklaw how come u never are on aim. I read a post about u helping me with roms since my hdd crashed.I've been playing Doom 3 so I've been turning off Trillian recently. It's on now.
SpyderX Posted August 18, 2004 Author Posted August 18, 2004 doom 3 is cool ey, well anyway my final decision is to wait a couple of months to see what comes out and hopefully by then ddr2 will go down in price too
kaioshade Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 I use whatever is a good deal at the time. I have built athlon machines and p4 machines. both are good processors.
Wizard Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 They are, but benchs now prove that AMD systems reign supreme in gaming over intel. But I wouldn't base buying most componet on benchmarks. Word of mouth is better
Ryuken Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 p4 cost too much so AMD is better in every way!!! lol
