yes i agree with TobleRONe... I've had my PCs from the stoneage XT to Pentium3, after that nag athlonXP (est.75degrees max) then athlon64 (est 65degrees max) and X2s (est 65degrees max) (courtesy of Everest) so far im very happy with AMDs releases dahil mas mura, hindi din aircon room ko and i dont use electricfan either hehehe not overclocked naman... stock din yun CPUfan except sa athlonXP nag thermaltake volcano fan ako (meron pa ba nun? hehehe) so far buhay pa mga yun (all three of them) at hindi naman nagOverheat.
Avid gamer din ako and lately iniiwan ko magdamag kapag may dinadownload.
for all those who said AMDs will get as hot as a frying pan, its the thing of the past...
(kasi ata parang overclocked versions lang ng intel chip mga lumang AMD, at least from what i've heard)
Pre-AthlonXP pa yun, kaya nga nung lumabas yun AthlonXP medyo tumagilid shares ng Intel and forced them to bring the price down para maka compete with AMD, sadly sa mga AMD fans nung lumabas yun C2D, nalampaso AMD kaya siguro lakas ng loob nila mag price increase sa chips nila, but from what i've seen some AMD chips are quite good... im planing on buying a new PC with intel's E7500 (meydo bugeted kasi
) partner with mid-range vid card pero sa ngayon parang mas gusto ko na yun athlon II X4 620... sana nga lang may 3Ghz ver na hindi masyadong mahal
and sometimes marketing strategy lang yun eh, baka masmalaki kita ng vendors kapag intel benta nila kaya mas promote nila yun intel. although im not against intel chips, but i think mas value for money yun ibang chips ng AMD just like sa reviews ng tomshardware from previous post up
opinion ko lang naman yan
