I have been long thinking of upgrading. Currently running ASUS CUV4X-E PIII
800 with 768mb of ram, but feel the time is coming to make a change. I have
been a long time fan of ASUS and Intel, but am looking closer at AMD's. A
lot because of price, but am also hearing a lot of good things. The board in
particular is the ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe. But I am still considering Intel's as
well. Am really unsure what to do. as I do not want to spend what it will
cost me to get what I want on the Intel side. Almost $600 versus a little
over $300 for AMD. Have heard some say Intel is good all around and that AMD
is only good for games. I play a lot of games, use CAD and graphics
programs, and also do some surfing, programming and other things. So can
some of you give me some insight. Would I be happy with AMD? What are the
downfalls of each? Just any good all around advice would be nice. Thanks in
advance.
