I'm close to springing for a new computer with an Athlon 64 3500+
processor. I don't do any gaming, but do a good bit of video
format conversion and video editing.
I read in a forum somewhere that gamers like AMD, but video editors
like Intel (something to do with hyperthreading). So I wondered if
the experts here have any thoughts on that.
Well, here's the machine I'm looking at, at Circuit City:
eMachines T6522 - full system for $629 after rebates.
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1GB ram
200 GB HD - parallel ATA
DVD burner
Integrated 128MB ATI Radeon Xpress 200 (display model has 400 chip)
TV tuner with remote
17" CRT
Canon photo printer
Windows Media Center
Three PCI slots, one PCI express slot.
