Help me decide on a AMD or Intel System

[leoftw]

These will roughly cost me about the same . I will be using this system for gaming , homework, photoshop editing, music editing, dvd encoding, etc just basic use .

System 1

ASUS L1N64 SLI MOBO
2 X 2216 AMD Opteron Processors
4 X 1GB Crucial Ballistix 800MHZ Ram
Antec 800W Power Supply ( I have it already)
BFG 8800GT (I have it already)
2 X Tuniq Towers
2 x 150GB Raptors in RAID 0 (I have them already)

System 2

DFI LP UT P35 MOBO
Q6600 Go Stepping
4 X 1GB Crucial Ballistix 800MHZ Ram
Antec 800W Power Supply ( I have it already)
BFG 8800GT (I have it already)
1 X Tuniq Tower
2 x 150GB Raptors in RAID 0 (I have them already)


Basically the AMD one will cost me cheaper because the processors are going to cost me about 150 used on craigslist. What would you choose. The processor on the AMD system could probably be clocked to 3GHZ on air and the Q could probably go 3.6 on air. What do you say ?

 

[calvieee]

you just said it " gaming, dvd encoding, photoshop"

INTEL > AMD on all 3

BTW, dont expect 3.6 on air (unless you are very lucky).... more like 3.2-3.5 avg

I seen some people get there but I will most likely get it to 3GHZ and let it sit there for years

The Intel systme cost a bit less so I'm leaning towards it .

c2d kicks the opteron to shame and aything else AMD has in stores right now.

 

[leoftw]

there has to be an advantage for the AMD system .

Right now, Picking form those 2 , Intel>AMD
