Which is supposed to be better for gaming? I have heard most of the time that AMD is. But with the release of the 925XE Motherboard which supports a 1066MHz FSB Speed for the P4 EE's, I don't know which will be faster now. Does anybody know?
AMD or Intel?

you are such a noob. why? because...
1) you've just started a flamewar
2) you didnt use the search function
3) you didnt create a poll
4) your name is noob
5) you also didnt google up for benchmarks
6) you will die in a fire

You're an idiot:
1) I wouldn't create a poll if I want details on a certain CPU (escpecially the latest which many might not know about).
2) For video cards. I don't trust benchmark programs because they say one is better, but the other is better in actuall FPS tests.
3) For stating the obvious that my name is Noob.
4) "I'm a Noob because my name is Noob."
5) You have just started a flame topic, you hypocrite.
6) You will die due to lack of intellectual horsepower.
Man with people like you, I wonder how they can walk and talk at the same time. Never mind chew gum.

Just read any of the benchmarks. The A64s are crushing all the comprable P4s in most areas of computing, especially gaming.
A64s are great OCers as well. They run much cooler than the comprable Prescott Pentium 4.
An AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 will destroy every Pentium 4 out there in every task except possibly encoding, where it is still extremely competitive.
Even the "lower-end" A64s (3200+, 3000+) can be OCed to level that surpass a stock FX-55.
To top it all off, the Athlon 64s are a bit cheaper than the Intel counterparts.
HTH.

I agree with Mik3y - the question should have never been asked. There are probably thousands upon thousands of benchmarks out by now over the internet comparing AMD performance to intel, why not look at Anandtech's reviews, or better yet search google? But Noob doesn't trust benchmarks. So how the hell is he going to get advice? Anyone here own both a 1066fsb Pentium & an Athlon FX and equally swap between them running all the popular games? I don't think so. All anyone here can do is regurgitate the benchmarks that are found all over the internet, which is what Noob should have done in the first place, and already given that he doesn't trust them...
you are an idiot..... though.
that's like going into p&n and asking who's better, reps or dems?
1. this is a predominately amd fanboy site, so that's the answer you'll get.
2. the only other question that uproots more contention is:
"what's better, islam or christianity?"
3. and if you've actually done your homework, within the confines of this site, you'd see that amd is the gamer's cup of tea, but there are grey areas about which one's better:
(here's the meat)...
if price is an issue, i think intel is the way to go. the heat issue is a lil exaggerated. getting all the latest hardware is cheaper. for example, you can get a good overclocking asus, msi, dfi 915p for < 150. with options for pci express, and ddr2 (as well as ddr). to get pci e for amd (cuz no one cares about ddr2) you have to wait another month before there is more than two or three options, and then, you're looking at 150 or > for a tier 1 board without sli. then there's high def audio. i think intel scored big with that. going pci e and high def audio is saving there ass for the die shrink fiasco. while the prescott is a decent performer (considering our expectations) it pales in comparison to the amd shrink or the prev generation northys. then there's HT which may or may not prove to be effective for you. that is also ferverently debated. for comparable sound and the pci express option, you may shell out an extra 50 to 100 dollars, while only gaining 10% in gaming performance (which you could make up with by putting the money saved toward a better cpu or vid card.
if cash isn't an issue. get a new enermax with two 12v rails, the fx55, the asus sli, and 6800 ultra x2.

Noob after seeing this question post 1000's of times i know you are just posting this thread to cause problems.
Also you might want to watch who you insult on the forums as you will build a bad reputation.
If i were you (god forbid
) i would edit this post now ask for it to be deleted and just use the search function and get your answer that way.

Noob, don't blame Mik3y, he's quite right in that you should have done some research of your own (if you have -- ignore me). And the generic answer you're going to get from most people is this:
Video encoding/rendering --> Intel
Gaming/Multipurpose uses --> AMD
There you go, take your pick depending on your budget and needs.

First of all I was asking a question based on the latest Intel FSB Speed. So the competition could have varied and any other "AMD vs. Intel" posts are not vaired to what I am specifically asking about. Second, I haven't been on the forums a lot as you can see by the number of posts. So therefore I don't know what the bias is. Third, my posts are mostly in the video card section. Fourth, this subject didn't have to turn into a flaming topic if mik3y kept it to himself. Fifth, if this subject always turns into a flaming topic, then it really says something about the mentallity of most people on these forums. Sixth, I don't care for making arguements. I have better things to do.
I like em both. But I prefer the Socket 939 Athlon 64's but its not that I would not be happy with a P4C. I am sure Newby did not mean to start a flame war. Its not his fault that most of you are too opiniated for your own damn good.
Its not good to bash someone when they are asking for help, his name sezz that he does not know much about the subject to begin with, so I am sure he feels pretty offended.

As I had stated, I don't trust benchmark programs. And I did do some research using google. But I couldn't find any that compared the AMD to an intel CPU with a 1066MHz FSB.
To add to this. I knew the answer I was probably going to get. That is why I specifically asked about the P4 with a 1066MHz FSB Speed. I knew if I was to ask plainly which is beeter, I knew I would just get the AMD answer.
I would like to appologize for the actions of my fellow forum monkey's. We do see a lot of these threads and they always end by being locked.

Noob then if you didn't know about the 1000000000 of of threads you do now. So stop posting on this one and look at one of them.
Secondly you didn't search very hard as AT did a review of the FSB increase about 1 month ago.
Secondly this turns into a flame war not because anyone is stupid but because people have their own opinions. People also would be a bit less agitated if we didn't see the same exact question asked 50 times a day.
THINK BEFORE YOU POST!

No problem. I would get sick of seeing the same thing to. But I don't react like mik3y does. Plus if he actually paid attention to what I asked. He would know my post post was not just another vague "AMD or Intel" post.

As I said before. I could not find anything about it's comparison to the FX 55. The most I could find is information about the speed itself. And it's hard to find benchmarks were they test the FPS increase while comparing CPU's. They use bencmark programs. Which have always been false when determaining which video card is better.
