AMD vs Intel

[jkyamog]

hmmm na edit pala ni ssaloon. Kaya siguro tama ang nabasa ko?

btw -ILSR is MCP2-T while -L is just MCP2 only. Ito iyong binagit ko kanina. May real difference iyan if you will use the built in audio. For more reading look at this.

deym, natetempt nako bumili ng bagong system... pero tagtipid ako ngayon so mukhang kailangan ko muna ihold yung upgrade itch nato!!! waaaah!

[turk182]

if you are looking for nforce2 based mobos, i recommend abit and epox mobos rather than msi... look for the epox 8rda3g or if you want one with soundstorm audio, get the abit NF7-S or the epox 8rda+ rev. 2.2 but this one is quite rare...

kung hardcore overclocker ka da best yung abit NF7-S P6,800 or abit AN7 P7,100 both are available at risingsun computers. Pero kung mild oc'ing and super stable board ang hanap mo ok na yung msi k7n2 delta series. btw yung delta-ilsr gamit ko ngayon and i'm pretty much happy with it's performance and stability!

Sorry bout the misinfo... my barton is the first one out ...... im just overclocking it to match the 3200+ hehe. In fact we had a healthy discussion on this matter a couple of months back.

youre correct it does go at 2.2GHz.... ang tagal na kasi since kinalikot ko rig ko

All you guys wanting to do upgrades, try to hold your horses until Q4 2004. Big changes will come soon.

ssaloon, wag ka muna bumili ng videocard. When the Radeon X800 series and Geforce6 come out, bagsak lahat ng prices ng FX5900 and 9800pro. trust me.

pajerokid,

i bet you're gonna ditch your fx5900 the moment X800 and its nvidia equivalent land?

[pajerokid]

BTTT (sorry for the repeated posts),

Athlon64s can run 32bit software, and as mbt pointed out, theyre pretty good at it. Plus, you can execute 64bit software and OSs when need be. So if you want a future proof PC or tamad ka mag-upgrade, go the AMD route. (Im not too sure lang if Intel's P4s can run 64bit sw... i think you need a NEW processor for this)

BTW, MERON NANG LONGHORN BETA sa favorite shops ninyo sa greenhills. So the real thing aint too far off.

mbt, ewan ko ba pare. I have this perpetual upgrade itch when it comes to vidcards hehe.

Kasi ganito yun, i was fine and content with my radeon 9800 kaya lang it went kaputz. so i got the fx5900 (not bad reallye).

Kaya lang the promise of DOUBLE the graphics power is simply hard to pass up. Of course, finances are a totally different story hehehe.

i'll get it sometime next year na lang when the hype is over and more importantly, when the prices are realistic.

Nakakatawa nga e. the FX5900 can play any existing game (that i play) smoothly, pero iba talaga hatak ng id ko (psychologically speaking).
