Re: Help me too choose AMD or Intel ???

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have been running AMD for as long as I can remember..........my very 1st
machine was Intel and everything after that was AMD.I might not do
"professional" audio and video but I save TV shows to a HD then edit and
burn the result to a DVD.
I also have taken VCR tapes and recorded them to the HD,edited the movie and
then burned to a DVD...not to mention home movies which were already
digitally recorded recorded to the HD edited and added a soundtrack.
This with a AMD Barton 2500 chip, a meg of DDR Ram,an older ASUS A7N8del
ver2.0
So you can see its an older chip...........the newer 64bit chips should do a
comparable job to any Intel chip out there.

I would not hesitate to use another AMD chip.
