From the stats I see. i noticed AMD is used 28 to Intels 12.
since this is an overclockers forum.. why...
i was planning to buy a new system.. Intel of course but since there are so mnay more people using AMD... why?
does it out perform Intel once overclocked? better bang for the buck?
I have heard of the crushed core stories... (i imagine it would be for the more amature users that would do that). and how the MB can be cooked with CPU if it overheats.
never any of the above problems with Intel CPU's.

so why the die hard AMD users.

can a dedicated intel person like myself be converted to AMD?
lets see... anybody want to try to convince me?

unfortuntaly i will be going away for a week..
but i'll check back when i get back
