how about the 6600 quad core ? is that available at the moment ? Its by far the best bang-for-the-buck you can get in the UK / US markets at the moment. And AMD really does not have anything in the same league. > But then /me just widened the scope by thinking about AMD. look at it this way, in most cases where you need to push loads of data, AMD tends to be the better choice, if you need to push clock cycles, Intel does. > I have no info on how good (or bad) linux runs on AMD. works fine, and you will get support for pretty much everything that might even be AMD specific like amd-v etc. > But have read on forums that AMD is actually far ahead of intel. only in some areas, not everywhere :) but one place it is better is pushing data. So if you are looking at things like Databases, playing movies, playing games etc - AMD would definitely score higher than its corresponding intel chip at the same price point. btw, dont always believe it when people say AMD chips are cheaper than Intel ones - Compare chips that cost the same amount of money, and take cost out of the equation completely. Its the only way you can make a fair comparison on what you get. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
