Intel or Athlon

[Willamette_sucks]

I suggest getting a 2800 barton (cheaper) and ocing it, to ~2.4 - 2.6 ghz (whatever it will hit with your setup).
Its cheaper and better. In games esp. the Athlon does proportoinally better compared to the intel, compared to how it compares with the Intel in many other programs.

Read that last sentence carefully, it makes perfect sense.

Bottom line, 2800 XP oc'd ownz and is cheaper.

Ok For about the past year I have been planning a new gaming box...a Athlon box.
Now that I'm getting ready to order, I am wondering if I would do better with Intel....???

Sorry for starting a post and not taking the time to answer anyone that has replied to my question. This is a terrible catagory to fall into, but that's where I'm at.

It's been a busy summer and I can not see it changing anytime soon. I am putting my build off until I have the time and energy to spend on it. I don't want to try building my first computer after work and if I'm not working on the weekends, I'm fishing the oil rigs off the cost of Louisiana.

I am going to build a new box..someday
