Not everyone uses their machine for gaming.

In this specific scenario: if you intend to overclock, go with AMD; otherwise, stick with Intel.

William Moore61 As stated by:
I find myself in need of some counsel.
I am considering making a purchase, though I find myself at a loss as to exactly what I should acquire.
AMD or Intel? It is a question that offers little satisfaction.😕
I am currently stuck using a Celeron—an absolute piece of junk.
Should I go for it?
The Intel Pentium 4 3.0 HT 800Mhz L2 cache 512kb remains an artifact of a bygone era.$467
An AMD 64 +3000 socket 939 paired with a Gigabyte NForce4 motherboard equals $250.$567

? ? ? 😕 ? ? ?

What exactly is the intended purpose of this machine?

I am actually considering this—a 40 GB Maxtor with 2 MB of cache!
It might just be worth the investment, I suppose.

What a total joke. Sure, you'll probably get that hard drive spinning at 240,000 RPM without any trouble.😬

My apologies if I missed the punchline or whatever this is.🙂
