It is usually because of an outdated BIOS, or other hardware problem other than your processor. If you wanted a fast car (not that I know anything about cars) why would you buy a 350 horse power car for a higher price than a 450 horse power car that costs LESS? (I know crap about cars so keep that in mind- but I do know it wouldn't make sense).Īlso keep in mind that just because you had a problem with an AMD processor in the past it doesn't mean it was AMD's fault. I have to assume the role of Spock here when buying a Pentium over an Athlon for any reason whatsoever. Athlon processors are higher end processors that run much faster than Pentiums, cost less, and are more "effecient" processors. BUT the fact is even with a more than efficient heatsing+fan your Athlon processor is going to cost you less than the Pentium equivelant. Not to say that Pentiums are all that bad because they aren't, but the point is there is no logic in buying Pentiums over Athlon other than the fact that you need a better cooling solution. Competition is good for consumers, and we all should help keep competition healthy so that we can all benefit from faster, and lower cost, systems. Really, you will be your own worst enemy if you ignore the benefits of AMD and simply choose Intel in the false belief that you are doing the right thing. Now there something to think about.ĪMD needs support and as long as they are making good CPUs at fair prices I see no reason to switch back to Intel (unless Intel falls significantly behind AMD). Imagine if we were all still today waiting for Doom 2 to be released so that we could play it on our Pentium 2 systems. The main reason I buy AMD (apart from lower cost) is that if AMD were not to exist, then the cost of Intel CPUs would not be affordable to the masses, and the pace of technological advancement would be significantly slower.
AMD K10 VS. PENTIUM 4 SOFTWARE
Most issues that others have had are usually the result of other system components, as nearly all software is developed on Intel systems, and therefore has been tested on these systems prior to release. Personally, I've never bought Intel since the days of Pentium III, and I never had any problems with my AMD systems. Both Intel AND Amd have had problems in the past.
