Re: new custom pc post
[ QUOTE ]
i think the C2D > AMD comments are more relative to the higher end - Q6600 and E6850 are allegedly significantly ahead of AMD. it seems to me that the Q6600 would be a huge bargain for poker players at the moment. At the lower end, just get whichever is cheaper. [/ QUOTE ] There's no doubt that Intel owns the top line processors at the moment. But a number of people here have claimed, quite vigorously, that Intel performance dollar for dollar is better across the entire range. I simply don't believe this is true. Especially with some of the deals you can get on AMD/ATI combos. I may even get an ATI card now that they seem to be taking linux drivers seriously. |

Re: new custom pc post
anandtech repeatedly claim it to be the case; they seem to take into account price differentials.
they've got a comparison article on their front page right now comparing the ATI 3870, 3850 and the nVidia 8800 variants. |

[/ QUOTE ] I was referring to an integrated solution [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I don't like spending more than $100 on a processor, lord help me if I spent that much on a GPU. Now if PS offered a 8800GTS using FPP then I'd be in heaven! |
