I thought this might interest someone that is about ready to get a new system. It seems, that even AMD's low end is better than Intel's high end stuff. :-)
It's fairly common knowledge around here. The only problem is convincing customers that they don't need an Intel chip. One of mine was about to buy 10 £2000 Pentium machines to update his drawing office, until I showed him the same application on a £1000 Athlon machine. Much faster, and things improved even more with 1Gb of DDR ram - try buying that in RIMM <g>
Hi, I need to buy four new machines for the office to be used as workstations, and was after some guidance on the motherboard and CPU. Will probably equip them with 256M of ram and the Matrox G450 Video card and 20G IDE Hard disk. Can anyone recommend a decent motherboard that works without problems. A few of my friends have had problems with the AMD processors and recommend the P4. I think the main problems is getting a stable board that is specifically designed for the AMD processors. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Graham Smith ----------------------------------------
