Bottomline:

....Here's the bottom line. If we had to recommend a single core processor, the choice would depend greatly on the type of applications in use. But in the dual core arena, though, there is not much that speaks for Intel: go with the Athlon 64 X2.

Another bottomline:

Gasto napud ug mahal.

[koto]

sos ang AMD na g tikadako ang mga ulo nila mauna mahalon na ilang mga Proc. specially sa AMD X2 ang price nila twice as high sa Intel Pentium D w/ same performance on application software (not on games cuz AMd gyud permi mu lead ani tungod 3Dnow! pro)

[maxgate]

mao jd part...mahal ra pero mao ra jpn ang performance..
P.S..bgo rko diri mga tol....heheh....nndot mn d.i diri..makat.on ka...hheheh

old thread to dug,...

get the lowest model of X2 and OC it i'm sure you will love it.... cool and quiet.....


unlike intel heat generator and a power hungry CPU

X2 still is better... now how to finance it lol

totally agree! as i said in the other thread.. "i regret each and every click i did in newegg.com in setting up the top of the line 955x mobo with p-d 830" grrrrrrrrrrrr....

should have gone to AMD the first place. arghhh!

[guilliam]

oooopppsss!!!!

on second thought a 4 times PRICE difference with a p-d 2.8ghz and x2 4800 is NOT comparable to this reviews:

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/200..._pd_820/7.html

check, and tell me is the 4x price diff worth it? i mean x2 4800 with a price tag of four times higher than the p-d 820 core.

lemme hear your thoughts. guess my choice wasnt that bad after all(aside from total electricity consumption blow out! waaaaaaaaah!)
