I agree in saying this is a piss poor review of amd hardware by tom's hardware. if you see the detail they put into the intel reviews....... they cut this one down. bad choice of hardware....... i'm sure a higher phenom II x4 paired with a crossfire of 2 x 2GB 4890's would of made a better...

Just to prompt my point ....... we have alot of customers come in and specifically ask for a AMD Phenom II Quad Core. Times are changing....... PS. The i5's should be good, I know the Core2's while they seem fast were really crap cpu's. They would do one thing at full pace, but then...

It would be interesting to see how many AMD CPU's are sold compared to Intel. What I know is generally speaking where I work we curn out about 40-50 new systems a month. We may have like 45 AMD, maybe 4 say Intel (core2 based) maybe 1 i7.... We dont even have people bother asking us for Intel...

dragonsprayer. dont even mention the absolutely useless company asus. And I wasn't talking about "Intel branded motherboards". I refered to "Intel Branded Motherboards" as being reliable........ for things like servers. When it comes to desktop (choose your brand) any company has to WORK...

The problem with Intel no matter how special they make they CPU's is they have absolute crap when it comes to motherboards. AMD is feature packed, Intel is feature lacked. Intel make good chipsets yes, Intel make good reliable boards (proper intel boards) yes, intel make good CPU's yes. But...

This is a waste of time. Blizzard dont bother making the game if your not gunna add LAN. Seriously thats just lame. If people wanna hack it, they will anyway it makes no difference. It's absolutely ******** that you can play multiplayer in the privacy of your own home without internet...

Windows 7 is much improved on Vista. Using Vista on a laptop is ok if you have enough cpu power/ram mostly to back it up. Windows 7 on the other hand in a real world test, say opening up like 10 internet explorers, photoshop and other things....... windows 7 will be alot snappier then Vista...

This is like written by some busy body kid who thinks he knows everything, daring to repeat a question over and over as if to say look at me 'i'm right' being so blinded by the fact YOUR WRONG. Lets go back to the START of your repeated question with AMD's response. 1. The EU's findings were...

No AMD's at all? ... Whats going on with the world, you'd sware AMD was non-existant. Seems a lil biast. I would of figured a X2 6000+ or Athlon X2 7750 (2.7Ghz, 1MB L2, 2MB L3 Cache Kuma) on a Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2 mobo with a ATI 4770 would of smashed this area. All good reliable cheap...

cangelini: Granted. I am not a enthusiast however. Tis my job. The article might as well be based around an "enthusiast" because the guy has invalid remarks, comments and basis for his arguments. So I would say, this guy is NOT a System Builder but a Enthusiast. "Intel, AMD, And Reseller...

I dont live in America but I gotta say ARE YOU KIDDING ME. The implications of this story are very large. Your talking about having to let virtually ANYONE into your home on the basis they are "who they say they are"..... Maybe they have a badge, a license etc saying they are these people. If...

I have one other point here to make. This "System Builder" from what I've read through the comments is using AFTERMARKET heatsinks and complaining that AMD's are damaged more during transit because of this. Mate seriously........ so your not even shipping these with the stock heatsink/coolers...

I have a question to Tom's Hardware. Why did you guys publish this article? Why did you choose to take on this System Builders comments to publish. You only need to read through all our comments..... I'd say most of us are all system builders. This guy in this article has no idea what he is...

DarkMantle. Typical comment. "I can get a HP". You get get a Dell too buddy. Premade systems use cheap parts hence the CHEAPER price. Doesn't really come down to Intel VS AMD does it? ... if you've got a seagate/maxtor hdd..... dodgy ram etc. Not to mention 90% of the Premades have bad...

This entire article discusses nothing. It's someone's opinion and that is all. From what I read the entire sole backing factor of this is that the LGA775 socket has the locking cover over the CPU which means they dont come loose during transit. Are you kidding me? That may be a GREAT...
