Hey I was wondering which CPU is better. Now I know some people say ohh if your a Intel guy go for this, oh if your a AMD guy go for this. But please I just NEED a straight answer which one is better?
Note:Prices for both computers are the same. So don't worry about the price.
Anyways For the First one.
-Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
And The Other one is
-AMD Athlon X2 5600+
They both have 3 Gbs of RAM, 400Gb HD, Vista Home Premium. So yeah?well im pretty sure intel is the leading supplier of proccseors so i would go with this Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600...... ive never USED AMD , but intel has never strayed me wrong....... do i bit of research on the web im 100% that is better.What will we have over 5 years? a hexacore processor?
Where are they good for?
OK a dual core but they make sure you can do more things at the same time but a quad core does it do the same but just more?
Isn't that the purpose of RAM?
I get a little crazy because of those things.

Jonas lol u go crazy i dont really understand the point in high cpus because im USING a p 4 and its happy with me and im happy with it sure , the other chips give you more power ya ya ya but like i said the cpu 2 me ISNT a main point im happy with what ive got , but your being gready lmao , go by a comdor 64 and sell your computer and live in good grace... lmao I would definitely go with Intel Quad.lmao

either one would send a Saturn rocket ship to the moon !!

do you realize (whoever you are!) the computer you are using right now is more powerful then what Nasa had to send the Saturn rockets to the moon & back > you got to be jokeing around if you aint im really gluble

Not only is it faster in single applications, it has twice the cores of the Athlon X2, so when MULTITASKING it is a lot faster.
There's your answer, the first is better.Quote from: Calum on July 09, 2007, 11:53:45 AM
