he wants AMD
i would like to convince him to go intel, but as many people as possible need to buy AMD so that their market cap increases and can dominate intel in the future
idk, no matter what i read, no matter what statistics people throw at me, i just don't see any viable performance advantage that intel may have. sure, they might have the fastests most overclockable procs, but dollar for dollar, the AMD models compete pretty well with similarly priced intels.
i guess when push comes to shove and it comes time for me to upgrade my platform, i'll probably go LGA 775. because i am too late for AM2, AM2+ will only be out for a year or so i read (before AM3 comes out). meanwhile, i haven't heard that intel will be upgrading their platform any time soon. then i'll be able to joing the crowd with my very own core 2 duo...
