Barskoman,

Look at the "sticky threads" at the top of the "Ask a Tech" forum

The search facility is great on here and would stop you starting threads on subjects that already exist

... do you have any clue what you're talking about? intel's been better all around since the C2D was released. In fact, the only way AMD competes is by lowering their prices... a lot.

Hmm, which computer do I have...I'll list a couple of them (All built by me, I haven't bought a built computer since my eMachines with a 1.7GHz Celeron)

Main
Intel C2D E6600 @ 3.6GHz on water, 2GB ram, , EVGA 680i T1, 8800GTS, 2x250GB in Raid0 and a 500 for storage

Main Backup, dedicated folder
AMD Athlon X2 5600 on a Asus M3A, 2gb ram, X1800 video card, 250gb sata drive

New Backup (built last week)
AMD Athlon X2 5000 Black Edition on a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI, 2gb ram, MSI NX6800 256mb version Video card, 40gb ata hard drive

Old Backup (died 2 weeks ago)
AMD Athlon 3800+ on some Asus MicroATX board, 1gb ram, onboard video, currently a crashed hard drive, onboard video

Thinkpad T40 laptop 1.5GHz 1.5GB Ram Radeon 7500 and a 120GB Hard drive

Those are my current computers, I use them all regularly except for the 3800, which as mentioned has a busted drive....I have a basement full of parts I could use to build more, but I don't need them right now.

A word on CPU's. I use both Intel and AMD for gaming, both perform excellent. Price for performance AMD all the way. The Athlon 5600x2 performs on par with about a Core 2 Duo E6550 or E6600, and costs less than half as much. Core 2's do however fold better, and have better clock-for-clock performance as well as very high overclockability. Clock-for-clock means little in the world of gaming though, they both perform the same in game. AMD tends to load a little quicker too.

Memory: I only use Corsair or Crucial.

Video: Either, both are solid performers

Hard drives: Seagate or Western Digital. I have had bad experiences with Maxtor. Not that they are bad drives or anything, I just prefer WD.

Motherboards: ASUS, Gigabyte, or EVGA. Never had one die. Never buy a 'budget' Foxconn! I've owned 3 '39 dollar special' foxconns, all have imploded within a year.

Ok, I kinda went off topic but yeah, s'all good?
