Hmm I'm partial to AMD's myself, but the second one sounds nice.
Both are good systems though.

**kitiara** · 2nd September 2007, 02:29 PM

I too am partial to AMD. I've got that same AMD processor except in the older socket style. I love it thus far.

merth · 2nd September 2007, 02:33 PM

/drools both sound awesome and like Adam and Kit I too prefer the AMD's

**Ally** · 2nd September 2007, 02:53 PM

Yeah we're leaning towards the AMD too, just wanted to see what everyone else thinks.

So those are pretty good? Nothing bad that we need to change?

**Adam** · 2nd September 2007, 02:55 PM

I shouldn't think so, you've got some decent quality stuff there, in both specs.

**Snugglebunny** · 2nd September 2007, 03:07 PM

So your lap top is broke for good?

**Ally** · 3rd September 2007, 12:27 AM

Yup... something got screwed with the motherboard. Replacing it would have cost us at least $500. So hubby's just gonna build a comp for me.
