My AMD rocks with with my 7600GT, last lan i was at beat 5 other pc's in bench mark 2003, and all the other pc's wher INTEL! from a Server Board 2.8ghz to a 3.6ghz P4
Go AMD!![]()
CORE 2 AND AMD CANT BE PUT IN THE SAME SENTENCE
its like nvidia cant be put with ati
Conclusion
First of all let me sort the facts:
As soon as Core 2 Duo hits the market, it will...
1) be the fastest x86 processor (both single and dual core models)
2) make the Pentium D and all predecessors look like antiques
3) be the clear choice for performance users despite its rather expensive price
4) outperform the complete Athlon 64 family (X2 and FX) in all areas, including gaming, where AMD has traditionally been very strong
consume less energy than other standard desktop processors
5) transform the whole Intel platform from an energy-hungry beast to a reasonable solution that is competitive in terms of performance per Watt
Erm you'll hold on.
I've tested both 8800GTS and 8800GTX on a Core2Extreme @ 3.9GHz, Core2Quad @ 3.3GHz and on an AthlonFX62 @ 3GHz.
All! Yes All! These CPU's are not capable of bringing even the 8800GTS to it's knees. Yes the Intel's score higher in the 3DMarks and what not, but surprisingly enough the AMD does better in Fear. 59fps vs 55!

Read em and weep AMD suckers ... your machines ain't the fastest any more.
The price of an X-2 compared is muuuuch lower.
Your probably just angry because you cant tile your floor (or whatever you wanted to do) after you bought your Core 2 Duo, and its not like that helps your card. Okay ja, im just fihgting for fun now.. but really. AMD ftw.
