I saw other people with similar topics but I didnt want to invade in on their question so I made my own. I have been trying to figure out which CPU to get for my next comp. The only one's I have ever had are intels so the whole AMD numbering and GHz thing is all strange and new to me. I'm trying to figure out if I should get the AMD barton 3000+ or the Intel P4 canterwood 3.0 GHz. I would go with the ASUS A7N8X deluxe or the Epox 8RGA+ for the AMD. For the Intel I would have the IC7-G motherboard. Cost doesnt matter much for me right now. I have two sticks of mushkin 512mb pc3500, which is what I would use. My question is which would be faster? Thanks.
