Re: AMD vs Pentium
That varies but in a game I would guess about the same as a P4 2.8Ghz. It also depends on the motherboard. Nforce2 based motherboards are the fastest for AMD XP with their dual channel memory support.Originally posted by MrCool -
Re: AMD vs Pentium
and AMD 2400 is equvalent to a pentium 2.4ghz. now the AMD doesnt actualy run 2.4ghz its just equvalentComment

Re: AMD vs Pentium
Thats not really true, id say an amd xp is near the p4 3ghz... I like pentium alot tho, a bit more stable. My friend got an amd 3200+ and he only has trouble with games... I have no problems at all :)Comment

do u think that this is a good deal? i've already got a X800XL, so i dont care about the gfx that it comes with, but what i am concerned about is if an AMD mobo will support AGP slots?? btw, the money value is in Canadian Dollars
should i add $50 to bump it to a 4000+????Comment

Re: AMD vs Pentium
I'd check some overclocking forums and see what you can do with that board inasfar as unlocking those processors. It'd suck if you bought a 4000+ and you found out that you could've bought the 3500+, messed around in the BIOS for 10 minutes and make it a 4000+.
I hope you're planning on purchasing much more system RAM, you'll need it. Get at least 1.5 Gig.Comment

Re: AMD vs Pentium
Amen. My 3500+ is running smooth as silk at 2.5Ghz (instead of 2.2) with that same board. The Revision 2 board BIOS is OC friendly.Originally posted by PropeckComment

Re: AMD vs Pentium
My amd64 3000+ is running stable and cool enough to be safe at 2.5ghz :) No problems AT ALL. <3 amd <3Comment

Re: AMD vs Pentium
I have my 3000+ at a very stable 2.2GHz with no problems at all. Anything higher than that with my current stock cooling will make it unstable :hmm:Comment

i have 3200+ and it runs battlefield2 great, if you can why dont u just get a custom comp- cuz 256mb RAM doesnt run much - and it would be better to get a PCI-E mobo ....... unless that is one ? i dunno but 3200+ is great for BF2 and as u propably know u need much more then 256mb RAM
Good luck
