My Dell came built with,
Pentium Extreme Edition Dual Core w/ HT Tech (3.20GHz, 800FSB)
Windows XP Pro
CompleteCare Accidental Damage Svc to 4Yr Lim Warranty & 4Yr Ltd Warr, 4Yr At-Home plus nights and weekends
3GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 4 DIMMs
Main HDD - 1TB Performance RAID 0 (2 x 500GB SATA II HDDs)

20 inch UltraSharp™ 2005FPW Widescreen Digital Flat Panel
256MB PCI Express x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon X850 XT PE
Dell 5650 5.1 100 Watt Surround Sound Speaker System with Subwoofer
Dell Wireless Keyboard and Optical Mouse

All my friends were like OO GET AMD ITS SO MUCH BETTER, and well I got me a Dual Core Extreme - I don’t think AMD even has technology close the Pentium Extreme Edition Dual Core w/ HT Tech . There top of the line Dual core is around the same speeds of the lowest Intel Dual Core last time I looked in on AMDs website.

I use to own an eMachines, so I spoiled myself.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Just outta curiosity, how much FPS do you get on a game like Battlefield 2? As for the AMD thing, there is nothing close to 3.0 GHz CPU for AMD, but I still think its a better processor for gaming.

I still say Pentium over AMD. Think about it; Alienware computers are one of the most high performance desktop PCs and they run P4. Besides, I've been Pentium-biased for years now.

[*mipadi*]

At the same time, though, Opteron-based servers are some of the fastest and most powerful on the market, and far better than anything Intel offers.

It's all about application. Some processors are better for certain tasks. I go with AMD because it's cheaper, not because of any performance boost.

Of course, ultimately, I prefer the PowerPC.

Yeah, I go with AMD because it's more bang for the buck. Although I am typing this on a P4 system.

I would have to say Intel Xeon is the most widely used processor in the server market. A dual Xeon is expensive but it is worth the money in the long run, especially in the game server department and the web hosting department. Most team speaks, game servers, and hosting companies are ran off of Dual Xeons. Intel still dominates the market, no dought about it. Its on a larger demand scale than AMD or PowerPC.

[*mipadi*]

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. Intel might have more market share, but an Opteron-based server is more powerful than a Xeon-based server (especially when running Linux). This article sums up that sentiment nicely: "It's really hard not to be charmed by AMD, especially when you see the performance of a decked out Opteron-based server compared to anything else on the market, including an XServe" [1].

Well I found 581,000 hosts that offer Dedicated Xeon hosting, and only 215,000. This supports my post.

Most Xeon servers are less than a Opteron server anyway. $249(Dual Processor) a month HP Proliant Xeon Server, and $289(Dual) a month for a HP Proliant Single or Dual Opteron. Info from Voxrox.

Dual Xeon
2x 2.4GHz Hyperthreading
160 GB HDD (2 x 80)
1 GB RAM
1200 GB Bandwidth
$249 /month

Dual Opteron
2x 242 CPU (1.6GHz) (1MB cache)
80GB 7200RPM HDD
1GB ECC RAM
1200 GB Bandwidth
$289 /month

Xeon Hosting (581,000 Results)

Opteron (215,000 Results)

[*mipadi*]

"The Opteron is paying off. According to Mercury Research, AMD's Opteron managed to climb up to 11.1 percent of x86 server CPU sales in the second quarter of this year. The previous quarter, which was not weak by AMD's standards, was 7.4 percent. It's not a coincidence that Intel is pushing hard to get the dual-core Xeons out the door before the close of 2005. Originally, they were scheduled as late as 2Q 2006, but the momentum behind the Opteron is nothing to scoff at, and Intel knows it. Rumor on the street is that there's more than one OEM out there worried about gains made by the Opteron. For Intel-only shops such as Dell, it's tough to see one cut out of a tenth of the market.

"And let's keep in mind that, for the most part, AMD is new to the server arena. The Opteron was AMD's first server/workstation CPU, and in just two and half years, they've gone from effectively zero percent up to 11 percent.

"Looking ahead, Opteron's future is bright, if not a little strange. Sun's executive vice president of the scalable systems told reporters that the company is going to work with AMD on Opteron development, but so far no specifics have been mentioned. Sun certainly is a forerunner in championing the Opteron, and the company obvious has extensive CPU design experience themselves." [1]

Again, I note that Intel might have more market share, but more market share != better. And, as noted, the Opteron's market share is steadily climbing. Part of Intel's success is due to the fact that is has more leverage in the marketplace, but that could change, and it is not a good indicator of what is technologically better, just what can be marketed better.

You know, medic, the only people who are bigger assholes than self-righteous Mac users, are self-righteous PC users who have to go out of their away to attack people based on their choice of a computer.

Get a life. It's just a computer, man. Who cares what other people use? If you're happy with what you use, why insult others for their choice? So a guy says he loves his iMac because it's awesome--how the f**k does that affect you?

It's one thing to get into a friendly debate, but it's annoying when people--on both sides of the fence--are total assholes about it.

[medic]

I posted that image because almost every topic I have been too where a person is asking for help, he would post something along the lines of GET A MAC AND IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN!, hmmm.....

And as far as I'm concerned I don't give a f**k what you think. I have a life, I have a job, I have a car, and I have friends. (Not saying that you dont) I am in Russia on vacation for gods sake, I have a life. I happened to like that picture, so what, as long as I follow the forum rules, and guidelines I can post what ever I want. Your opinion, or what you have to say is useless to me.

That is all.
