if the new k10 perform as wat AMD claim, i doubt anyone will be interested in Core, unless it is selling like wat AMD did to its K8 to counter Core now.

Intel Q6600 will go down to US266 this 22nd July anyway.

AM2 +proc can use in am2 motherboard or not?

I think so, but can't use its full potential. Do correct me if I'm wrong

AMD X2 3600 vs Intel E2140 .... which is better ?

will the board supporting Intel E2140 exp compare to AMD ?

sorry noob here...not really know more on Desktop ...

not really...!!amd still the cheapest in market....!!

U can find similar mobo price for both platform. But intel will overclock better.

Whether it is budget or performance processor intel has the better processor I think.With their 'blockbuster' advertisment they will continue to conquer the processor market.

yeah agree with u..how many people know amd actually..i've yet to see amd advertisement on tv..the one and only advertisement i saw besides shoping complex (eg:lowyat plaza) was at PJ near hilton hotel..

not every people know overclock just compare stock vs stock lar
if overclock sure pentium e lor

but amd on board g.card is better than Intel GMA950 rite ?

now choosing which platform to use on my gf desktop ....

i need to fork out another Rm300++ for g.card if i use intel mobo ....Intel GMA950 is a no no for Vista...

Ati 1250 is much more better than GMA950

By the way a LOT of PC builders happened to be "bought" by Intel to spout propaganda and misinformation towards consumers who want to buy AMD based systems. Anecdotal evidence, but this happened 4 years ago when I ordered a Barton system from __ _____. *eyeroll*

Or maybe LGA775 is just easier for the builders?

A friend of mine was swayed towards getting an E4300 for casual usage!
Fairplay, this ain't. Root for the underdog I have to.

@Steven, GMA950 CAN run Aero. It also performs better than most think. It still sucks for gamers though budget-PC people aren't.

let say

AMD X2 3600+ n biostar TA690G = 200 + 300 = RM500
INTEL C2D E2160 n average mobo = 300 + 300 = RM600

with intel platform u need to fork out RM100 more...
and again i'm not too aware about good intel mobo for budget n OCable..

since everybody also saying intel OC better..
is the average intel mobo came with good built-in gpu n can OC better?
i don't know coz i've tried on amd.. maybe someone here can enlighten me..

just to OC.. we need to pay another hundred for better mobo?
isn't that raise up the cost..

for me...
u got the performance from what u paying for...
there's no point paying more for everage daily usage... think²..

OCing get a lot more in performance for the price. actually top up RM 100 - 200 worth it cos you get back more than that in terms of performance........

BUT if you get the performance of RM1k processor and still don't utilize, then waste lor.

IMO comparison should never bring in OC. i prefer compare stock vs stock.

If u are going to compare stock to stock, then AMD is a smarter choice. huhu

1. why?
2. and why are you using Intel processor?

ok.. put aside the OC thingy..

for equivalent stock performance..
3600+ or 3800+ = E2160..

spend RM100~200 more on intel platform..
whould be better if buy 4400+...

but for me..
i spend according to my budget..
and i'm selecting which performance/value suit me...

it's depends on u guys..

Becoz of overclockability, that's all. If I am just using stock speed all the time then just grab AMD. This is all about price/performance.
