Amd64 Vs Em64t

[thehemi]

The motheboard on my Windows workstation croaked.

So my Linux hardware will migrate to Windows and I'm

going to need to upgrade my Linux workstation/server.

 

The question... AMD Athlon 64 vs Intel P4 EM64T

 

I have been using AMD processors for years, namely

because I was alway supporting the underdog. These

days I'm worried less about that and more about who

gives me a better product. Is there a clear winner?

 

I'm not shopping dual core or server based processors.

Basically just wanting a good desktop 64-bit processor.

 

If the race stays close, I will probably stick with AMDs.

 

Thanks!

I've got an Athlon 64. Runs like a champ.

 

If you're not looking at dual core or server products, then I'd be inclined to make my choice based on motherboard features than desktop processor features.
