In my opinion, in terms of compatibility with softwares, I'll take Intel.
AMD has a bad history last time.

there wont be any software compatibility issues, unless you are install a intel chipset driver to a AMD system

i think the bad history of AMD is refer to the overheat issue?? now the AMD processor is far more better than you can think of, can buy with reasonable and affordable price.

always look forward, dont let the history haunted you.

Here's a few links to back my statement:

Most programs was written for Intel system. So, there will be no compatibility issue with Intel system. For AMD, sometimes you have to d'load a patch to solve the issue. doh.gif
This means that software writers prioritize it's program for Intel.

from what i see, 1st link is a HP related matter.

2nd link you posted was hardware related when your post was about program compatibility.

3rd link you gave shown there's a fix, so it's not a problem. (just as what you posted)

4th link was dated 1999. biggrin.gif not a worthy article to quote.

My point is, why do u have to take the hassles to download the 'AMD compatibility' software.

If you use Intel, the probability for you to get advises such as 'pls download patch for Intel system' is like, none?

Yeah, the 1st link is about HP and OS related matter, correct. But like I said, most programmers, their priority would be writing mostly and mainly for Intel system. That is why Intel is more stable.

i dont think that kind of 'problem' still happen now.

Yeah, you don't find that kind of problem now.
But based on history, and the theory of probability, in the future, a new problem might occur and AMD user have to download the patch specially made for AMD system.

Any of you guys heard before regarding, 'Intel user, please download patch for Intel system to solve etc etc problem'. I don't think so..

so far my experience with using AMD for past 10 years is

1. Windows i have no problem
2. Games i have no problem
3. Adobe softwares no problem.

so tell me, how often is it that people face problem using AMD rig? my work rig is AMD powered, never had problems.

4 links you quoted. 1 is HP related, 1 is hardware related. 1 has fix (which actually shoots your own point since there's a fix) and 1 is outdated.

if your 4 links can't even support you correctly, i don't see how your claims after that holds water.

That was my point actually.

Why must you buy sumtin that u know it has a history of compatibility where u must download patches to fix it.
Why don't just buy sumtin that don't need any patches or have never in history that requires u to download patches?

But there is no guarantee that the same thing will not happen in Intel. Isnt it?

Well you might be right.
Let me ask u a question.
Bus driver A have a few accident records and Bus driver B don't have any accident record.
That doesn't mean bus driver B will not have accident in the future.

But who would u prefer to be the bus driver? A or B? rolleyes.gif

Haha. But i would definitely sure that you will choose a bus driver with the cleanest record.
And most of us all do that.

Intel has a better clean record than AMD.

bus driver analogy doesn't work quite well here.

anyway IMO you're just exaggerating the matter, AMD has all the while been one of the cost-effective options out there.

so are you saying you're willing to pay more when you could actually consider paying less, knowing that the chances of problems happening are slim and in most cases, solvable just by a simple download.

I've been using AMD platform for work and games, and over multiple Windows generations and I rarely face problems. smile.gif those that have, well they're fixed in the end.

I do agree that with the same price, in terms of performance, AMD is better.

Anyway, maybe it depends on the person. I choose Intel because it's more stable; if you study the history.
And maybe I was phobia because last time in 2001 my friend bought an AMD system and it always hang. sad.gif
