General PC Hardware and software

Is this your PC specs? May I ask what your average CPU and zone temperatures are?

OHHHH and to answer my pick in the poll (I forgot about the whole point of the thread)

Intel - They simply overclock more

did i mention that my computer is a laptop.

AMD all the way

i had an Intel once, keep havinf troubles with it, now i have my AMD 2400+ it's awesome

Thanks Islanq, that's a very good temp you're running. I'm lucky if I run at 33 degrees. With the original P4 fan I went up to 60 degrees when pushing it!!

My system is kind of old.

Dell Inspiron 2650

Intel P4 1.89 Ghz

256 RAM

20 Gig HD

Internal DVD drive (16X)

Exteranl CD-RW drive (24X)

up to 60 degrees

Whoa man!

Thats hot! I know in a Dell I got the heatsink to go to 75° on a dell, driving the hell out of it

Needless to say, it got messed up

And it also proves the one 120mm fan on dells suck - cheapo's

AMD All the way. As for my specs.. not great:

AMD Athlon 2000+

640MB DDR RAM

50GB Hard Drive

ATI Radeon 9550 Gfx Card

DSL Connection.

how do you read amd prosessor speeds?

basically 2000+ is the same as a Pentium 2GHz, 2500+ is a 2.5GHz, etc.

i see

AMD all the way for me as well. They offer the same performance, speed and durability as Intel, sometimes even better, for a lot less. They are the two major CPU manufacturers in the business, so either one is great. But my choice is AMD.

My specs:

3.2 GHz processor. (AMD Athlon XP)

Asus A7N8X Deluxe Motherboard

1GB DDR Ram (400MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) )

ATI Radeon 9000 128MB video card

2x 120GB hardrives

Logitech MX500 mouse

Logitech Elite keyboard

Logitech 2.1 Speakers

Pioneer amplifier

18" Subwoofer
