Flatmate has just got an intel 805, 60 quid chip thats 2.66GHz stock...but is running it at 3.6GHz (aftermarket fan) and its keeping up with cpus that are about five times the price! Maybe AMDs aren't so value for money as people first thought ;) | |

If I was upgrading, I'd have to buy a new motherboard anyway (current one doesn't support PCi-E), so I'm free to choose between the two... | |

So far I'm swaying towards the Intel but buying a new Mobo would mean purchasing new RAM, probably going for something like http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/113951/rb/22545703240 | |

I'll buy depending on whether the performance diffrence is worth the extra you pay for the intel. | |

The new dual-core AM2 is supposed to be pretty good, and AMD's have always had a good reputation for overclocking. However, Intel have played a trump card with the Conroe/Core2Duo ships, as they are absolutely rock-solid for overclocking. | |

I was under the impression that AMD was the better of the two. | |

Ive always gone AMD and never had a problem so I'm a bit biased, but they always seem to be the best value for money. | |

Yeah considering the 4400+ has the 1mb and 1mb cache compared to the 512. | |
