QUOTE(AoiNatsume @ Oct 16 2007, 05:42 AM) Im not a fanboy of either intel nor amd. Just a regular user which seeks whats best for the money. either the price is the same...True enough AMD are more fun to overclock and has more tweaks over its counterpart, not to mention the performance it gives for its price its definately a bang. Then again, lets say ive got a budget of RM5xx. AMD 6000+ right now cost RM555 and at the approx equivalent price of it is the E6550. Lets take both of this proc and overclock them, im sure u guys already know the winner here. And its a win by quite a considerably big margin. Its always good to try other stuff for a change instead of sticking to 1 brand. Thats the best way to gain understanding of it rather than just reading reviews and listening to what people say. and yes...we all here know that Intel is now have the biggest advantages then AMD... but still...we choose AMD...to gain understanding is good...and not to mention to OC an Intel is easier then AMD..muich2 more easier..and all intel proc is OC able...like AMD...we need to hunt for a good one,burn it in and many more to make it reach the max....notthat make the fun thing for it... QUOTE(CV6149 @ Oct 16 2007, 11:08 AM) sempronic, it should be enough...just my thinking...not my final conclusion...you said you need to change ur psu...is there any reason why ?? coz it might be the same case as me also.. urs is fsp 500w..shud be enuff ...no? already thnking a long time ago to upgrade my psu....no money ar... if someone grab my psu & proc can ar...

Ive got both and at least ive tasted both worlds. Overclocking intel is easy, true, But not all chips are highly overclockable. Then again, the perfect overclocking isnt all about fsb, further tweaking of ram/timings and others are essential to maximize your overclocking result too. Im here because i too own an AMD setup and find it fun to play with. Well.. this is indeed a discussion thread not a fan thread =)
Just as dblooi say, with the given budget (>RM500), its either to go for intel or wait for K10. |

Btw, I still couldn't get pass 3Ghz by adding vcore. System became unstable above 228*13=2964  I believe I have hit my limit.
