Perfect CPU?

talk random

I wasn’t talking dinkling mhz readings…

I’m tlaking about FPS benchmarks on the latest and greatest new games… Tested on AMD with Radeon 9700 and Intel with Radeon 9700… And well… The fps benchmarks were slightly higher in the intel… looking for mag right now

Intel has the lead in 3d marketting

But I don’t know someone who would pay a lot of more money to get just a little bit more speed…

63

I am in the 3d business and I have both a AMD station and a Intel (plus a kick *** p4 laptop). Truthfully I cannot tell the difference. It is kinda like placebo…it is all in your head. And for your friend who works at intel and said that AMD performance is better is a stinkin liar (for lack of better words) I s he like the janitor at Intel. As it stands Intels performance kicks the bleep out of AMD. I was at a trade show and went to both booths and Intels was killing them in stats. The only thing I think is that AMD is cheaper, so it is better bang for the buck. BUt when it comes down to it being in a cpu the difference is un-noticeable. At least to me. It just depends on your style and what you are comfortable with

Alienware is rediculously good.

Not only do they have awesome warranty’s and plans and whatever, they set VERY VERY VERY high benchmarks. Your computer <i>will</i> be perfect.

one sec, explorer is crashing. gayass old computer.

wants to switch to the other one… but someone’s using it.

65

add on a year of tech support, 24/7.

200 hours of quality control. that’s just to make sure it runs.

alienware tower cases are sweet!!! I just bought one for a computer I am building from scratch. And who says mac is the only ones who care abou design!

68

yeah i have a P4 1.7 ghz…with a gig of ECC RDRAM…and a ATI 9000…3D studio max opens in like 5 seconds with it…its a great box…and i got it from Dell…never have had a complaint…

69

Why isnt anyone mentioning XEON processeors. you can get a Dual 2.6ghz XEON with mobo for a decent price. add a gig of DDR RAM and a 9700 pro and you have a workstation decent enuff for the film industry. tho, Intel chips are overpriced IMO. i wanna try the HT chips.

i’m going to be crazy :hangover:

71

Xeons are just mad expensive…if you have the bank go for it…they’re worth it…

72

so now…
what is the final result… AMD… Intel… Xeons.
i think i’ll buy Intel with HT technology… :stuck_out_tongue:

73

to be perfectly honest…

if you have the cash, the Xeons are definately where its at, processing power in those things are crazy…if you really have the cash have dual Xeons…

But for most *normal * people an AMD, or P4 is perfectly fine, AMD has a loyal following, and will die for their chips, but having tried both, I gotta say, I can’t tell the difference between the two.

If you are going into design though, rock the G4…

But, whatever you do, DO NOT buy a Celeron…it may appear to have speed, but its lacking in the processing power…you’ll have issues with it…

BTW XEONS are made by Intel. but actually u can get a dual Xeon set up for about as much as dual G4’s.
from:

Xeon 2.4GHz 533MHz FSB Socket 603 Retail Pack $594.96

thats not bad for the most badass CPU u can buy. dual figure $1200. $400 for the Mobo and $300 for the ram thats $1900 for a kick *** set up. it would be $2200 if you added the Radeon 9700 Pro.

altho if you want the best XEON…its gonna be real pricy:

Intel Xeon 2.8GHz 512K Cache INT-mPGA Processor $1116.00

75

then you gotta ad the case, cooling, HD, CDROM/DVD/CDRW or whatever input device you want…unless you have an old machine you are gonna salvage for parts…

76

The Problem about Dual Processoring is, that it is not really good supported jet…
AMD has also a Dual Processor. And guess what, its cheaper ;p

Alienware is quiet good, but you can get those cases everyware, and if you want, you can get a fancy window in the door. In Germany 8 out of 10 persons, who are building their PC theirself are having this case. Its really cool, but its a bit noise, because it is open everywhere ;p

77

its just a regular Antec Case…you can buy one with a window and LED fans for 60 bucks…

they just customize it with an alien sticker, and fan grille…and you can buy the fan grille and sticker…

dual processor computers are more stable then a one processor computer, Photoshop however, is a program that takes advantage of both processors, but most of the time the processors take even loads so it doesn’t use as many resources…

duals are worth it…if you have cash…
