Rob, Im all for AMD processors, we run them on most of our boxes now - heat can be an issue so protect them well.
there is no noticable performance difference between either brand (imho) consider the upgrade path (if thats an issue) a few years ago now we bought new motherboards with duron 800's - the same socket config is still available, there has been 6 changes with intel sockets since then, we subsequently only upgraded our motherboard bios, processors & cooling. the other point is the price amd 20% or abouts cheaper. often its like holdens & fords, some like one & not the other just an opinion steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob McLennan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CFAussie Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 11:32 AM Subject: [cfaussie] OT: Pentium 4 2GHz vs AMD Athlon XP2100 for running CF | Hi Guys, | | Just a quick OT | | Tech guys have recommended Pentium 4 rather than AMD Athlon if running CF | yet have said AMD Athlon is good if doing Graphics stuff | | Any ideas on which is best or are they just spinning it | | Many thanks | | Rob | | | | --- | You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ | --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/
