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

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Actually I think you would be better off and closer to your Audio/video
editing specs by going to a smaller(Been in Business for a long while)
computer store explaining exactly what you intend to use the machine for and
have them build you one.
You can and should research MotherBoards...Video cards....CPU ....Hard
drives..cases....cooling..etc ,So that you have some inkling of what they
are talking about.
There are also computer stores on the NET that let you build and price one
online........a tester to see how much it would cost.I usually build mine by
doing research and then listing the specific parts I want,sending this out
to a few reputable computer stores and asking for a quote.......build with
warranty.This way they are all pricing the same thing and I am not comparing
apples to oranges.
good luck
