This is the computer i have now
CPU4 2.4 GHz Socket 478
MotherboardCChips M925G V9.1B
Memory:2GB DDR 266
Videocard:BFG GeForce 7300 GT 512MB DRR2 (AGPx4)
Hard Disk(s):80 GB
Other drives:Sony 20X DVD+/-R
This thing can still do everything i need from it (lightwave, photoshop ect.)
but when it comes to games i comes up short because of my cpu and agp (which can only run at 4x instead of 8x cuz of the stupid mobo)
The main issue on this comp is the mobo restricting me to get bettter upgrades, i can probly get a better one and be able to upgrade my p4 to an HT and higher ram speeds and a overclocking-able mobo and bla bla bla
if i change the mobo to something better then i will also have to buy new ram and keep on exchanging the never ending circle of upgrading
So i realized its better to start fresh and new (while keeping this comp for a back up or for my dad whatever)
Now the LGA 775 is very tempting since i can put the latest intel core on it (therefore future upgrades available) and the PCIx16 with sli mobos are also avaliable avoiding getting stuck like i am with my system
lets get to the point i hear something about the Cache L3 that AMDs have for handling ram faster and also the 3core or the "true" 4core coming out (as amd said once since the intel quad core are 2 duals connected by a bridge ergo its not a true interactive quad core)
can i save money and gain performance by changing to AMD?
so i wanna hear opinions why amd or why Intel i guess
i know its a very political question but AMD has to have something that intel doesn't to still be competing
