I'm gonna assemble a new desktop pc. I just wanna know which is better for gaming, multimedia, and multi-tasking. Is it intel or amd? I have done lots of research of this in google, but I'm still confuse what to choose..


Edit:
Im referring to athlon 64 X2 or intel core 2 duo. Which is better?

Lets see. I would prefer Intel over AMD for strength and over heating compatibilities, which work very good.

So I vote > Intel

Well. What is your price range and I can see what I can find. I'll make two systems for you! AMD or Intel! Plus if you live in America, I can get really cheap prices for you! I have my connections ! LOL. So tell us what your price range is and what you want.

Example- I want processor, graphic card, motherboard, hard drive and ram! No monitor and mouse since I got that already!

So specifically tell me what you want and I'll find you best thing out there!

It's all about the Pentiums baby!
Intel, although right now I own AMD. Disapointing...

I would take intel, because their processors do it a bit better. More GHz.

But I would say Dual not quad, even though I use Intel 2.50GHz Quad.

According to the current scenario, Intel's leading AMD. And about Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad, there are not many application utilizing the power of 4 cores still. But soon(technology is changing very fast), there will be applications(games) utilizing their power. So, if you have no problem in upgrading your CPU soon, then go with Core 2 Duo otherwise its better to get Core 2 Quad (secured future).

Well I thinks Intel is the best from my personal experience ... go for Core2duo or Core2Quad (wouldn't need upgrade for atleast next 2 to 3 years ...

AMD .. from my personal experience not good (Has potential but has a long way to go)

I prefer Intel processors myself. Just make sure your video card is not some on-board pice of crap though!

AMD can be good for people with a tight budget. If you have the resources, however, an Intel processor can be a good investment.

Right now Intel is leading the market in the CPU arena, so your best bet would be to probably go for an Intel processor. I myself just recently purchased an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor, (along with a bunch of other parts to build a new system), and it runs like a dream...
