Pentium 4 (any ghz) versus Am2 Sempron 3200+ Philippines

- AMD is notorious for overheating. so if you will be using the PC for long hours this is a dis-advantage. I have 1 AMD CPU, my solution regarding the overheating is installing 2 ventilating fans. (P80 each at gilmore) 

- AMD is cheaper, so kung maliit ang budget get an AMD

- To date (Feb.2012) AMD has the most core processor at 6 cores.

- Intel is a little cooler than AMD, I used to have an AMD laptop, parang masusunog ang lap mo pag nakapatong.

- Intel has a bigger variety of Motherboards available for it's use.

- I personally have 3 intel powered cpu's, they perform just as good as the AMD cpu. All 4 cpu's have been with me for 1 year ++. so far all i have had to replace were the Power supppy of the 2 intel CPU's . Generic brand lang naman and underpowered (500watts) pa kasi eh. But the processor chips are still ok.

In the end It's your choice just be sure to keep all the receipts for the warranty.  

Maraming maraming salamat po sa info bossing.

I've heard that you already got a new (2nd hand) PC

what did you get? 

Specs?

Unang proc ko po P4 3.2 ghz tapos nasira yung msimong proc. (in fairness malakas po siya sa kuryente.) tapos napalitan po ng 2.6 ghz. SObrang bagal po. Kaya ayun nagpalit na lang ako ng motherboard kasi nung bumili ako ng pentium d 820 (supported po ng motherboard ayun sa website nila which is biostar) blue screen po siya sa startup ng windows (windows 7 ultimate po) na try ko na rin mag xp kaso everytime na ilagay ko ang internet cable naghahang siya. Inalok ako ng tech na kakilala ko, ng am2 sempron 3200+ kasama na motherbard kasi ayaw na gumana nung ibalik ko yung 2.6 ghz na p4.

SO far wala po siyang problema while Im using it.

Ok monitor mo Lang . Malakas sa kuryente is dependent on your power supply. Meron kasi ng 400 watts Lang at meron naman650 to 700 watts. For comparison the electric iron uses 1000 watts and it is notoriously the pinakamalakas kumun sumo ng kuryente sa Bahay.

How many watts is your new power supply ?

500 watts po ata. Kasi yun ang sabi ng tech eh. Pero paano ba talaga malaman ang watts ng power supply?

It is written on your power supply Unit

Eh about po sa point of view niyo regarding po sa dalawang proc po. ALin ang much better?

One of the factors to consider with regards to computers is obsolesence. Kung alin ang mas maluluma or maiwanan ng panahon.

Dati bumili ako ng Intel 386. During that time it was the fastest according sa salesman sa SM.

2 months later naglabas ang Intel ng bagong processor intel 486. Luma na agad ang PC ko.

What i'm getting at is mabilis maluma ang gamit nating computer in this age and time.

What I do now is always try to buy the latest the market has to offer.

That way uma-abot ng taon bago masabing luma na ang gamit kong computer.

Based on experience with use of PC's (25 yrs) I prefer Intel over AMD. 

Kung luma na din CPU mo even if intel ang processor mahirap na din makahanap ng motherboard.

nung nasira mobo ko umikot ma ako sa lahat na mga PC shops wala akong mahanap na replacement.
