Alright, this summer, I want to build a new computer as I need an upgrade, or just got for a Mac. (I don't know yet...)
Either way I want to ask you guys which way should I go, yup its the old classic question: Intel or AMD.
The thing is, AMD might not have the RAW speed of an Intel chip, but it can take a lot, it makes up for it in power.
I feel that Intel have this obsession with speed, they have this mindset that speed is the only thing in their processors, which is not true, they are too engaged in the speed of the chip and not the stability and performance. Intel keeps pushing the speed, and also pushing the size of the leads and transistors smaller and smaller to get a smaller chip and less power consumption... but blah it doesn't help performance a bit and really hurts stability in my opinion.
Anyway that's what I think, even though I have been using a Pentium4 for four and half years now. I am also going for a dual-core processor, I won't need a quad, and I think they were released too early...
So what do you guys think? Which way should I go?
You should also know that I multi-task a lot... so I need something really powerful.
