Advantages: low prices with high quality

Disadvantages: no

My opinion is that today Amd is the best.
Why?
First: there is high quality, certainly.
Second:With all applications and with 2D and 3D softwares and games is very good.
Third: low prices. There is a good price difference between Amd and Intel and it’s very good for me.

Overclock

Amd cpu offer a great tollerance for overclock.
Mostly the socket A motherboard allow to act on FSB (Front Side Bus) and on multiplier.
For overclock often you need allow also on Vcore and the most popular motherboards permit it.
But attention! This operation CAN CAUSE DAMAGE! It’s warning!
In fact the cpu, if overclocked but not cooled (off), is damaged.
Overclock is supported by this motherboard:
Asus A7V133 (chipset Via KT133A)
Abit KT7A RAID (chipset Via KT133A)
Epox 8KTA3+ Pro (chipset Via KT133A)

Recently there are also:
Epox 8K7A+RAID (chipset Amd 761)
Gigabyte 7DXR (chipset Amd 761)


But I think that You not need of overclock with Amd because it’s already powerful.
Finally the monopoly of Intel is closed.
And I thing that so Intel carries one’s ambitions too far, but only today.
Yesterday it was certainly the best and it not looking for best quality and low price. But today it is very unlike.

It’s useful for us (users): low price and high quality, always.
