[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ AMD or Pentium?

[Ratrap]

Hello, i posted it here and not "Hardware" because i want to know Experience AND facts.

I am about to get a new Computer, a really expansive one, 4000+ euro

But i don't know what kind of CPU!

AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 (2600 MHz, Bustakt 1000 MHz, Level 1 Cache 256 KB Level 2 Cache 1024 KB)

or

Pentium® Extreme Edition 955 (3466 MHz, Bustakt 1066 MHz, Level 1 Cache 16 KB Level 2 Cache 2048 KB)


i had once a AMD and got bluescreens like hell (1ghz some years ago)

Since that time i just bought Pentium.

Which CPU is better for games?

I've tried to build my Computer, but i noticed: AMD doesn't support DDR2 Ram and the good Asuus boards.

Someone else told me wait too, but, there are new cpus, graphic cards etc all the time.

I just don't know about DirectX 10 and the Graphic Cards :-/

well the thing with AM2 is that its offering that DDR2 support on-die :) and given that you are going to spend a lot of money on the comp, I would strongly suggest buying one that can still be upgraded after few years: AM2 is the only socket AMD is going to put new stuff to... and its just until June ;)
