which is a better buy - intel or amd?

Answer 1

Both CPU are fine. I think the decision is based on what motherboard you want to buy. Intel currently seems to have the best technology right now but AMD should have new products coming out soon.

Answer 2

For less than $150 go with the AMD, but for more than that go with teh Intel Core 2 Duo.

Answer 3

Well I happen to be an AMD fan - they are more efficient, more powerful, less expensive, more compliant, better designed, and they have the memory controller onboard so you get considerably better performance from your RAM. Also, they generate a lot less heat.

However, the next battle is upon us, so that may change...

Answer 4

my suggestion is INTEL

if u r not so much into gaming than u should go ahead with INTEL

even if ur a gamer, intel is not a bad choice

best of luck
