Naka-gamit na ako finally ng PC na Intel Duo.  Di ako bumilib.  Ganon pa rin, nacho-choke agad.  Pero limitation siguro talaga ng Windows yon.  Sana yung Windows Vista mas magaling mag manage ng applications.

Depende sa application. Kung ang app or game na ginamit mo hindi written specifically to use both cores, parating isang core lang ang gamit mo (set core priority in Task Manager). Wala ka talagang makikitang performance benefit sa dual core proc unless may multi-processing capability ang application mo.

Wow. Pati dito pala may Intel vs. AMD thread.  :lol:

Currently, naka AMD Athlon64 3000+ Venice core ako. However, I'll be building a new rig soon (not mine) based on the Intel Core 2 Duo. Para at least, there'll be one unit here that can easily handle Windows Vista if necessary.

As things are going right now, in the big picture, while it might provide more headroom for overclocking, lower CPU power consumption is a bit moot since succeeding generations of GPU's are requiring more and more power.

Anyone who can give update about the processor design of the two??

Kasi nung lumabas ang Athlon 64, naglabas ang Intel ng panlaban nila, nakakadescourage nga e kasi dalawang prescott processor lang na pinag-pair unlike sa Athlon talagang designed na one processor to have much power.

AMD won the battle of the 64-bit processors with it's Athlon 64's a few years ago.

However, the latest victory belongs to Intel with it's Conroe/Duo 2 Core processor (dual-core) which beat the counterpart X2 hands down.

Presently, AMD is hard at work with it's quad-core design. Maybe they can put one over Intel again with this. Then again, who's gonna need a quad-core processor in the near future? That can probably be answered as Windows Vista matures in the market.

Can't wait for the AMD quad cores to come out.

well, no one said the bias was enough to blatantly rig benchmarks in favor of one manufacturer. besides, no amount of tom's bias could hide the fact that the Athlon 64 was way ahead of the pack back then. same thing for AMD fanboys with Conroe today.

+1 parekoy! sawa na ako sa PC upgrading kasi napakabilis na ng technology development ngayon to the point na kunyari kakabili mo lang ng top-of-the-line processor, etc. after a few months may mas mabilis na. kaya ako mid-spec na lang lagi ang PC, ayoko na gumastos ng sobra para sa graphics, processing, etc.

i think application-specific sya dude.. as far as games go, AMD smokes Intel. it's very competitive in the other benchmarks.

pero pareng Kit...my soundcard is super stock ...I am using a TASCAM US224...so I'm not using the soundcard....and in the long run I will be upgrading to a higher TASCAM model.....the 8 track with digital LCD and stuff. So I really don't need a nice soundcard..since my monitors is also plugged to the TASCAM.....right?

Well, Phil, the 224 is your soundcard.  I guess I should really be saying audio interface, right? Naging generic term na kasi ang soundcard. The thing with newer technologies, though, is that they also force you to upgrade other parts of gear/recording chain. More tracks will mean bigger and faster hard disks, faster cpus and more ram. While it doesn't matter much if you're only tracking, it does when you're going completely virtual like no more hardware synths, samplers, and effects. When everything is "in-the-box", that's when the need for raw power surfaces.

Even then, having the most powerful computer is useless when the soundcard/audio interface and DAW software is the weakest link in your recording chain. In hindsight then, it doesn't really matter if you're using an AMD or Intel platform. What matters is how well it integrates with your software and audio interface of choice.

YES...thats the one...very affordable.

...pero Kit, I need a powerful computer too right?... to handle my recording software...and so far the TASCAM and Sonar software combo works really good...plus I'm more familiar with it. although I get some Latency problems.....I can work around it though by minimizing the number of tracks. I hate it when I have a lot of tracks and everything doesn't fit in the monitor...have to scroll down.....hate that....even viewing it in "console"...still doesn't fit.

Yes, you will need one. The way software and recording gear is getting more complicated these days, it follows that your PC has to be powerful just to be able to work comfortably. Minimum spec just doesn't cut it anymore unless you want to work at a snail's pace. If you are going to upgrade your PC today, the king of the computing hill are the Intel Core 2 Duos. Be prepared for quad cores since they've just been released last Nov. and if you  got a mobo that supports 4-core, you are just going to be amazed. One thing you should be prepared for, though, is that dual monitor setups are beginning to be the norm for DAWs. You can work comfortably with one monitor, but having 2 allows you to view the track and mixer view at the same time making it easier to track and mix.

Ganda ng 1082! And it's quite affordable. Unfortunately, it costs twice here!  :evil: I'd be happy even with just a Faderport.   :|
