hi guys im back and i have a question that could change the plans for my new computer as i know them

which is better the Intel LGA 775 Pentium 4 630 or the AMD Athlon 64 3500+

from what those links say it looks like the intel is way better and correct me if im wrong but the intel does not have an onboard memory controller which means that i won't have to worry about ram like i would with the amd and also again correct me if im wrong but the intel does not have a locked multiplyer to me it seems the intel wins out in all areas including price but i want to know what you guys think

and this might help out- i love games but i dont play half life or anything and i rarely get to play them, i want this computer to be a media center really but i still want to do my CAD work and i spend hlaf the time my computer is up on the internet

hope that helps

thanks

well the amd is 64 bits that's why it's priced a little more

i just bought a Gateway laptopn with mobile amd 64bit 3400+ and it cranks along with a gig of ram. I also too wonder how the AMD's preform against the intels.

The P4 he has linked to is of the new 6X0 P4 series that has 64 bit extension support just like the Athlon 64.

I've always had AMD and have always been very satisfied with their processors and one of the main reasons I used to go with them was the huge price difference between AMD and Intel and both of them are pretty much the same. It's kinda like the Chevy vs Ford....both are good cars but it's really whatever your personal preference is.

not really there are some real performance differences and thats why i am asking this question i mean the intel is cheaper and looks much much better on paper but the amd is what i was already looking at and i know they are very good but they have problems with the ram and the clock speed is lower

if it was as simple as go with what i like it would be the amd because i already know about them but i dont really care what i know right now i just want to simply know which one is better performance wise its all in the numbers for me i dont really care whats in the socket as long as it works and is the best performer

Just to clarify... the implication that the intel is 64 bit in the title is wrong... it isnt.

see that em64t well thats intels version of the 64-bit amd tech

and THIS is what i was linked to when i saw the ad

so see it is 64-bit

EDIT: i also found THIS which you might want to take a look at

thank you now i know i'm not completely retarded. I'll admit i don't know much about this stuff at all, but since i am in the market i have been doing some research as of late and i'm always kinda keeping up. From what i've read online (including the links thepissedoffman posted) the 64 bit intel chip should be A LOT more expensiev than the one posted. Like upwards to 600 dollars. In fact the biggest gripe about the Intel 64 bit chips from all the places i've read is that they are a lot more expensive than the AMD 64 bit'ers..... so something doesn't add up and i'd like someone who knows what they're talking about to tell me the difference, pleeeeaaaasse
