Nick: AMD vs Intel for FSX

[raptorx]

Nick,

Can you explain how a core i7 compares to an AMD Phenom II 955 in FSX?  Is the i7 better and why?  I might have to use your knowledge to back up an argument (or lose one).

Thanks,

Jim

Tell them to buy the AMD chip and enjoy it.. and then get out of the conversation because for every person on this planet who knows what they are talking about there are 2 who are unsure but smart enough to figure it all out, 4 who are unsure and just follow what looks good, 2 that are set in their ways but can be reasoned with and 2 that will never, ever even if you prove it to them scientifically back down from their idiotic, moronic, knuckle dragging, bull headed belief because if they did, they would be admitting they were WRONG and will always believe what they see on the screen is the best they will ever get because they KNOW what they are doing


then go fly and enjoy life

you win

That's good enough for me.

Lets break it down to the finish...



The one you are dealing with falls under #3 or someone who is unsure but who goes with what looks good.. this is the target of the INFOMERCIAL called the HARDWARE SITE which generates more income from this target group than any other


now.. then there are the types I usually deal with...


1 (out of the last 2) has knowledge and uses it for highly technical and in-depth standup-philosophy in the subject which people come from miles to read because it reads like this person is in the know and should be writing the StarFleet technical manual....


Mel Brooks played this part perfect:

the other is just a hard-head who likes to stir up trouble and the internet is a good place to do it since you cant be identified, so they think. LOL! They usually have a grudge or a chip on their shoulder and if they had kept their mouth shut to begin with they would not have shown everyone just how close minded they really are but that does not matter... what matters is they must denounce accurate information they do not believe (regardless of the evidence) is true.



go fly

I'm biting my keyboard right now.

If you cant argue the tech, stay out of the argument

I did not argue anything.. I simply stated where the misconceptions come from

Unless Frank ha a legit question about something I posted, I

My two cents?

I used to run AMD exclusively cause of the cheaper price.  What I was running on those machines didnt care a plug-nickle the make and model of processor.

Until I got FS2004.  That prog led me to switch to Pentiums and I aint looked back since.  For my personal machines.

I have built a number of machines for folks at work, family and church members based on AMD.  I asked them what they would be doing and the AMD made more sense economicaly in some cases.  I now try to push for Intel cause a machine would be more flexible.  The AMD machines do just run and keep running but ya can do more with a Pentium.

Thats the bad penny's two cents!
