Ok, I decided to post this in the General Computer Related Discussion to get the most accurate results. I know that if I posted this under AMD CPUs or Intel CPUs, there would be a higher percentage push towards one side. This is not really a Intel VS AMD situation but more friend VS friend computers.
Here's the situation,, My brother is building an Intel Rig and his friend is building an AMD rig. The question is...
WHO'S IS GONNA BE FASTER!?
Brother's RIG:
MSI 875-P Motherboard
2.40C Pentium4 o/ced to 2.80GHz (933MHz FSB(12X233))
1.00GB Kingston PC3200 CL3 (2x512MB Chips)
MSI GeForceFX 5200
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy3 (This year's generation guess)
2 x 80GB Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9 S-ATA in RAID0
Antec LanBoy Case with 350Watt True Antec PSU
Brother's Friend's RIG:
Abit NF7-S Rev2.0
AthlonXP Barton 2500+ o/ced to 2.39GHz (11X217)
1.00GB Corsair TwinX PC3200 CL2 LL (2X512MB Chips)
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro
nForce Sound Storm Sound
2 x 80GB Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9 S-ATA in RAID0
Antec 1080 Series 21" Case with 430Watt True Antec PSU
This information should be more than enough to give everyone a general idea on overall performance. I'm sick of the arguments and I just need to know,, which one is gonna be faster... and I'm not just talking 3D, were talking business apps, internet surfing and so forth.
They will be reading all the comments on this thread, so please give send your thoughts with some good explaination of why one is better over the other.
EDIT: One last thing,, who's do you think will cost less??? Any feedback on price would be most appreciated.
I will start... LOL,,, I'm sorry but I think my brother should scrap the GeForceFX card and get faster Ram. I think CL3 will hurt his overclocking so bad that I dont even think he'll make that FSB.
Thanks in advance everyone... and lets please keep this clean.. hence I dont need a mod having to clean up this thread.
