I need to build a server to run a simple accounting program so that other computers can access it. The program itself is not demanding however it has to run windows server 2003 24/7.
Should I go for the Intel dual core e6600.
Or the Amd athlon II 445 or phenom x2?
I'm pretty sure they perform about the same but which will be more stable or run cooler?
There are a few diy kits for $220-250 on newegg.
I just dont know which one to opt for.
I have built plenty of amd athlons, my current Athlon II x3 seems to run pretty hot.
But no experience with the lower end Intel.
