Re: CPU questions...


Still, if you want my personal opinion, go for AMD. ;-) They are more
energy-efficient and more affordable than Intel - Intel's idea of
boosting performance is raising the clock speed while AMDs are simply
more efficiently structured - and ethically you'd be supporting a
company that's _not_ in league with The Evil Empire. (Intel and
Microsoft are involved in the Trusted Computing Platform, a DRM-ridden
monstrosity that could end up being the PC that you simply can't install
anything other than Windows on...)

What year are you living in? The Penryn Core2 processors consume much
less energy then AMDs current processors. In addition the Core2s are
faster on a clock for clock basis and they are available at higher clock
speeds. On top of that the Intel processors are much better overclockers.
Two years ago AMD was the better choice but not anymore.
