Intel v/s AMD processor

Well, Its very difficult to compare them... [Ya, really :-( ]
So i'll just mention their Advantages .. and decision is left to you :-)
As far as benefits of AMD or Intel CPUs, here is a (basic) rundown:
Intel:
1) Brand name
2) Faster core speeds
3) Hyperthreading (most models) [tricks Windows into seeing "two" processors,improves performance some (5%-15%) in multi-tasking situations; on rare occasion can DECREASE performance slightly in some applications]
4)Newest chips support LGA 775 (new socket type) and the matching motherboards have PCI express (new add-on interface) and DDR2 memory

AMD:
1) Price
2) Get more done per clock cycle (that is why slower chips can tie or outperform Intel chips)
3) 64-bit processing (on Athlon 64s only; not yet supported by Windows, but a 64-bit version is in the works, so in the future performance of these chips will increase)
4) On-chip memory controller (again, only Athlon 64s; this allows faster, more direct access to the system's RAM and increases performance in memory-latency intensive applications)
5) Generally easier to overclock (be carefull with ANY OCing, though)



So.. Who is the winner ?
Well I would say "AMD is a winner,but Intel is not a loser" :D

Install Laptop RAM said...

About a month ago, I just learned how to install Laptop RAM by myself.

It was for my wife's old laptop which we bought in 2006. Her laptop had only 248Mb of RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM is important for multimedia applications, games, and for doing several things simultaneously in your computer.

I think this was a bit outdated.
Intel processors support 64 bit since some models of Pentium 4, an that is a lot of time ago.
Also, 64-bit Windows versions exist since Windows XP 64-bit Edition. Windows Vista, Windows 7 and subsequent releases will also support it.
Also, Socket 775 for Intel is being deprecated in favor of new socket for Core i3, i5 and i7 CPUs.
PCIe is a standard for motherboards, doesn't matter if they are for Intel or AMD.
And finally, Hyperthreading is only present in old Pentium 4, Atom (Netbook CPU) and Core i3, i5 and i7.
