AMD or Intel

[BD10NNF]

ive been looking to upgrade my PC. Im in 2 minds where to stick with AMd or go with Intel. At the mo ive got a AMD x2 and i was looking at the new Intel chips cause they seem to be a lot better than the new AMDs.
Has anyone had any experience with either of these chips and what do you think is worth gettin?

im gonna be changin the m/bo as well cause it doesnt support DDR3. but i just want something that is good for gaming and good for video stuff

oh thats a nice price seem as my last setup that isnt as good as that cost me nearly as much

i currently have a AMD x2 5200, Foxcon AM2 board, 4GB DDR2 and an 8600GT this all needs upgrading. im gonna be getting pretty much whole new setup. Looking to get ATI 4850 and a new board that can run DDR2 and 3 but im not sure what CPU to get cause Ive read that the AMDs are pap and that im best off gettin an Intel but they cost so much. I dont really want to spend more than £200 on a board and CPU.

You cant get boards that run DDR2 and DDR3. Well ive never seen or heard of them anyway.
AMD arent a bad choice, especially if your on a budget.

This would serve you well -

My mate has 1 that does but its for a Intel board

no my board cant do the new AM3 but it can do the AM2+

so the best option is to wait till after xmas when the i5s are kicking and then see whats what between the AMD and the Intel

 

[BD10NNF]

yeah but my AM2 is only worth like £20 now so i was just gonna sell my old cpu, mbo, gfx all together to someone for about £70 and then they just need a case or just put it in theirs

 

[BD10NNF]

MY mbo cant do AM3 ive tried i dont understand why it just cant and a have a 5200 x2
