"SWHOOSH over the head" 

tc i am trying to learn but with comments like this.  i am stuck.  like i said i am an idiot when it comes to amd, so when i ask questions and get answers like that.  what do you expect.  as for being incompetent, that i am not.  I did my research  and when i asked about amd all the amd gods said the same thing, research and you can build a better computer.  but no one pointed the way.  and they mentioned that there were problems but with the right components there wont be any.  but was hard to get an idea of what problems i may have. when i asked about intel nobody said i was gonna have problems.  it was just get a good mobo, cpu, ps and vc.  no problem.

so anyway would you care to explain does amd uses only 1 core? and intel uses 2.  wont that make intel faster?  like i said it went over my head, probably because i am stupid and dont know better.  and that's why i am asking for help.  and if i get an amd cpu which type of mobo would work better and which type of vc?

as for liking intel, i coudnt care less, on the other hand, all my experience is with intel.

Semp,Sir.....

I posted that comment because I specifically pointed out that AMD used only 1 core prior to your "3" post after me pointing it out, then you went and asked again,

edit: about AH only using 1 core of an AMD multi-core CPU after I posted a reply explaining it to Pudgie......

so I have posted 2 seperate times that AH only uses 1 core of an AMD multi core CPU........ and I never said anything regarding Intel outside of maybe indirectly saying Intel cost more

I NEVER said AMD was faster than , or better than Intel ( and I never said Intel was faster or better than AMD )

I said people can save money going the AMD route, but I also posted that people should do their research and ask questions and make sure all their PC components will work together correctly.....NOTE: this last statement should apply to any & all PC's regardless if it is an Intel or AMD CPU...... some people have built Intel based PC's and had problems because they did not research their build specifications.....

I seriously hope I have properly answered your questions

tc my bad for misunderstanding your post, i apologize  .

this is where I am confused and hope you can help me.   if amd uses only 1 core how is that comparable to intel that uses two?  Like I said i am just your average computer user, but it would seem 2 is better than 1.  this is where most people like me who know nothing about amd get confused.  since all we know is two cores is better than 1 and 4 is better than 2, unless you're playing a game (mostly) in which case only 2 are used.  all assuming the more cores have a faster cpu clock.

thanks for your patience TC,
