Computer Q&A

[mutt]

I'm also looking on another forum (computer specific) so I've got some ideas from them as well.

The problem is that I keep running into "fanboys" whether on the Intel or AMD side and no one will just answer my questions without bringing other points into the equation I that I don't care about, lol.

I.E: Me - Will the AMD 955 x4 Phenom II suffice for my needs?
Them - Well, if you get the i7 860 you can overclock and....
Me - I'm not asking about i7. My interest is the AMD, it is cheaper.
Them - Well, if you WANT an inferior product....

955 will be just fine.
Is it 'inferior'? Yeah, in some ways. But is it more than sufficient? Yes. We could go over all the pros / cons, but for your needs the 955 will be just fine.
