How about an OpterOWN is that a better name.Originally posted by: xMax
First off, AMDs are the highest performance systems for games, since that is one of their core objectives. Secondly, you will notice that the top AMD system had the TOP AMD chip, the TOP AMD supporting motherboard, and the TOP AMD supporting RAM. And we are talking about single core processors, since thats what i need for my single application, and the discussion was about what was best for me.
This is the top AMD system on the THG charts
AMD 64 FX-57 2800/200
NF4
DDR 400
Without reference to the the graphics card, thats the top single core AMD system.
The top single core Intel single core system would be something like this
Intel P4 3.73 EE
Asus P5WD2 Premium (i955)
Corsair DDR2 (667)
But on THGs chart, the P4 3.73 was only coupled with an i925 motherboard, not the i955 board, and was given DDR2 533 RAM, not 667.
So why did the Flagship AMD chip get the top motherboard and the top RAM, while the Flagship Intel Processor, the P4 3.73, got the lower performance i925 mobo with the lower performance DDR2 533.
Thats not exactly a fair test.
And lets see how the tests will run with intels new i975 mobo coming out in jan/feb. This goes without mentioning their new P4 4ghz that is to come out soon.
What does all this mean. Well, the truth is that AMD has seriously steped up its game and for the moment, in all those unfair charts, AMD seems to be better. but when two companries are toe to toe like this, each one will keep taking the lead when their new product comes out.
Anyhow, im sick and tired of this thread.
But one thing is for sure; AMD Athlon is such a dull name. Compare that to Intel Pentium.
Maybe im just a sore loser, but i do have some solid arguments.

But this thread must end now. I will not be coming back because its waisting my time and the time of anybody who is looking at it.
My decision has been made, my product has been ordered, my system is overkill either way, as i prefer the Intel Product line over the AMD product line. Even if, for the present moment, AMD has a slight edge over Intel. And thats assuming this is true since as of yet i havent seen the P4 3.73 perform on an i955 1066 motherboard with high quality 667 DDR2 RAM.
I must move on now.
Goodbuy

im going to reread all this info. the problem is that i have an idea, but i guess what i really need is someone to litterally outline all the required computer features that i need for my exact specific application. So im going to see a computer technical guy who works at a computer store and see what he has to say. he is also a friend, so he wont lie and just try to load me up so he can make a buck
but the idea is that i definitely need a superfast hard drive, even though im going to run the animation from a ramdisk, which i believe works amazing through personal experience. but i suspect it doesnt actually load the entire animation into ram, since by inspecting the amount of available ram before and after loading and playing the animation, i noticed that the total size of the animation was not being completely loaded. oh...i get it, if the ram disk pretends to be a hard drive, and since windows media player plays anims from the drive by loading and unloading portions, then the same was happening with the ram disk. that makes sense. maybe.
anyways, 10 000rpm hard disk
fastest cpu just to be sure
800mhz or more fsb on the cpu
fastest ddr2 ram
fastest intel motherboard
but then there is the graphics card. i guess, i will just go with something like a sapphire x800 xt, since the computer technical friend of mine sells those, as i was looking for an ati, which ive given up on.
if i do that, then i cant possibly be missing a single component, for that card, and overclocked, will have it all. PERIOD. but that leaves me with only one question:
WOULD SUCH A BLOADED AND STOCKED CARD ACTUALLY SLOW MY COMPUTER DOWN?
i dont see why it should. i mean, if the cards features are not being used, then they are not being used. but im not sure. so if you guys can give one final comment on this last question, then i will leave stop bothering with my paranoid perfectionism.
but i will say thank you very much for clearing a few things. forums are just one of the most amazing features offered by the internet.
