Don't buy a MX-440 unless he wants to play games of the past. It won't run games such as MoH:PA, so I doubt it would even have a chance of running Halo2 when it comes out on PC maybe 1 year from now.[/quote:4d221]

Intel is a head by a little bit in Video Encoding. But the A64 is leaps and bounds ahaead of P4 in the everything. The good definitely outways the bad and I'd take a 90nm 3200+ over a 3.6EE anyday.

BTW I'm an Intel user.

If you have the 3.6 EE and your wanting the 3200 64..then your the one who is obviously at fault...because Either you set it up wrong or something because that chip is second fastest on the market oOo:

Yet a 3200+ out performs in gaming or at least extremely close. Not to mension the 90nm A64s are incredible overclockers. 2.8ghz on air is pretty easy. At that speed the EEs don't even compare.

and there is no 3.6 ee yet
Only 3.46 EE also... note that the 939 pins are exceptional in gaming but if you look..they bumped them a bit too much with the voltage resulting in higher fps"Amd"

Besides...Intel Has been known to overclock a 2.8C to like a 3.6 Ghz

my god, might as well run integrated if your gonna run that shit... Literally, an average onboard intigrated system is the equivelent, cough up an extra 25 bucks and slap a 5200, or 9600SE in there man, SERIOUSLY it is a well put investment.

Now that I see the links I see what he means by low end cards. I imagine a MX series might out preform a radeon 9700. Go with Short Hand's link.

no way in hell, the geforce 4mx = low end budget pos. Same with the one I posted, but for 13 bucks it a huge huge huge performance gap etc. a 9700 is still a pretty powerful card only to be outperformed by newer gen cards aka "9800, 5900, x800 6500 etc etc."
