| AMD 2200+ vs. Intel P4 2.2
Pricewise, the two are the same. In games and non-memory intensive things, AMD is supposed to crush Intel. But in memory intensive things, it works the other way around. Now it seems that AMD 2200+ is hard to OC, but the P4 2.2 can OC to 2.8 pretty easily (or so I've heard). At 2.8, it'll probably beat AMD 2200+ in non-memory intensive things and games too. So what should I do? Build an AMD PC? Or an Intel one?

AMD all the way! I've run several tests on my own with my Athlon XP2000+ vs P4 2GHz cpu's and my AMD outperformed them in just about all areas.
However, I DO NOT overclock...but from what I've read the P4 is much easier to OC. If you're definitely going to OC I guess my post doesn't do ya much good.
Well, that's my opinion...

I just assisted building a P4 system over the weekend---at this point im gonna switch to a P4/533/rambus mem/Ti 4600 setup myself (after using every inception of AMD chip since the K6 all oc'd)---read up---the Tbred cant come close---these guys are crowing about XP2200's running at 2.3 with a Vapochill or pelt/water setup---a P4 with the right m/b and mem will run circles around it and thats with the stock included cooler on air and save you some $$$ in the process...

The tide IS turning. AMD better make some moves quickly or Intel is going to show us again why they dominated the market until recently. | |

Hmmm...I guess I better read up. Thanks for opening my eyes a little, I assumed AMD was still kicking all the booty in CPU Land. | |

yea... thekingofpain brought it to my attention. The thing is, when people do benchmarks of processors, they do OC'd Intel vs. stock AMD or OC'd AMD vs. stock Intel. Never, OC vs OC. I think they really need to do that to help people. And not MAX OC, but a reasonable one. I'm not the kinda person who's going to use watercooling or liquid nitrogen to cool my CPU. | |

stock the amd is faster. period.
as a system that is tweaked (overclocked) the intel is faster. period
the cost of having an amd is considerably cheaper but unfortunately you cant spend the money you save on the processor on a fasterr grade as it dosent exist | |

AMD seems like such a hassle to OC. I think in the end, I'll probably go with the Intel. Now to choose ram... RD or DDR? Oh well, I'll save that for another thread... | |
