This MSI motherboard i built back in 1996,lasted all most 20 years of life.The motherboard finally gave up this year.After that amount of time,that is a very long time to run.The desktop only shut off during power outages. in the real world, I will take AMD thank you very much.Ok so today i decided to order new motherboard and a new video card.For my AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb Quad-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 125W.

My AMD is the DAW, even though it is 'slower' than quad intel on benchmarks - its not really, exporting a track actually takes less time on the AMD due to significantly more efficient bussing vs Intel with fewer bottlenecks that tend to actually slow machines down. In the real world, I can get much more work done on my AMD machines (the two intel boxes, the quad and the dual) have both been relegated to toy duty (one is the entertainment center, and the other is my gaming machine. More over (and this comes from professional and personal experience) AMD's are much more stable than Intel. In the midrange (where 90% of us buy machines, the price vs performance still goes to AMD). all fine and dandy, but the top version of an intel CPU can run upwards of 1800 dollars for the CPU alone. People tend to compare the top version of Intel to the top version of AMD. For this reason, benchmarks should never be used to compare chips of different architecture as the results are meaningless (this is old old news). Gosh I am sick of this misinformation and reliance on nonsense 'benchmark' numbers.īenchmarks tend to be optimized for Intel (which will always give a huge improvement). As always statements that compare Intel to AMD are misleading and inaccurate.
