Hi ya..its time for me to upgrade again (i have an amd platform). This time around it is very hard for me to decide on the processor --as i can get both for same price and the specs look pretty much the same.
I want the platform for gaming and video editing mostly.
I am leading towards a pentium solution because:
1) Hyperthreading looks like it just might be the right technology for the future.
2) I really need a solution that does not sound like a leafblower.
Years ago i wanted to go with AGP..but a computer specialist convinced me it would just be a passing phase and not worth it.
So my question is...do you guys think hyperthreading will be a big enough deal to go with Intel?
And is it possible to get an AMD solution (forget water cooling) that does not require a huge amount of fan noise?
oh and i am looking at 2.4 ghz range for CPU.
TIA
