as far as i know amd is better than intel for gaming purpose.. i might be wrong

depends on ur budget. amd phenom IIs are on par with core 2 quads. plus its cheaper to build around an amd platform than intel. but again, if u have money to burn, go for core i7 rather than C2Q.

i7 phasing out next year.Just get a normal c2q or pII.If you can wait , just wait for i5.

i7 will cost me a bomb

core i5 cheap??
how much??
when intel official launch it??
how bout the prfomance??

both platform also nice on gaming .don mislead other people

hehe...mayb he like amd more than intel
i no experience use amd yet =P
which 1 budget meet perfomance??

for sure i would recommend AMD... Phenom II X4 940 costs just 680, WHAT A DAMN CHEAP QUAD PROC

plus the mobo doesnt have to be a high end one, u can get normal AM2+ mobo and focus more on graphic cards

AMD Phenom II 940 is the most wish choice if you want save as much money as can. Buy another 3rd party Cooler and 790GX / FX mobo then OC it to 4ghz just like that.....Performance is Boom!!! So powerful.

Even no OC with stock speed of 3ghz also very best on gaming also.

BTW Intel I-5 Processor convert from USD and it will cost around RM75x plus Mobo P55 Price still unknow. But sure more expensive than AMD Phenom II 940 + AMD Mobo

how bout temp??
is it high??my rig not inside aircond room
what mobo is good for it??
any suggenstion???
me no sli

don't talk only, show ur budget la..

a mere MSI 790GX would do, nonit go for all those platinum n so on or 790FX unless ure reli into oc temp wise its not much different than core i7... dun think that amd = hot ler

conclusion : AMD is better than Intel in the form of gaming.
get AMD Phenom II X4 955 AM3. damn chun for gaming i tell u.

Get intel.... better brand image...

AMD = chapalang ayam brand....

The stupidest comment i ever read..

You're sure about that?

He's really sure of it, he's sooo sure of that he even uses AMD's subsidary company brand as his avatar..

u said AMD is chapalang brand but u use AMD sub company ATI as avatar..
that mean u support chapalang brand..

i use amd now,so far i'm satisfy with my proc..it just generate more heat than intel..
but that's not a prob..

a asus m2n68 that cost rm200 is more than enough
