Hi
I want to upgrade my Processor in my PC,
I have Pentium 4 CPU 1.6GHz (Intel Processor)and I want to upgrade to AMD, I have heard that AMD is good for Graphic, As I am a GUI designer I want go fo the processor which is good for graphic, So I would like to know if any have a good experience with AMD or using it. I have even heard that AMD is having heating prob, is that true?

Thanks in advance.

Graphics depend more on your graphics card than a processor. You can try the Quadro series from nVidia for your graphics needs. www.nvidia.com

Yes AMD had heating issues before, but dosen't anymore.

well u can upgrade to AMD but u need to have a AMD compat. mobo.. and as for gfx there is not much difference between the both.. as far as i know.. but then if u want a gud onboard gfx get a nforce 2.. or get a AMD athlon 3200+ and get a gud gfx card like ATI radeon 9600 pro or a 6600 GT..

Get an amd 3500 90nm cpu + asus sli mobo with twin 6800GT then you have a good graphics workstation monitor samsung / sony 19" CRT.
AMD has no heating problem infact intel perscot range has a very bad heating problem so rest assured on that one.

yeaa....d new graphics card frm nvidia, 6800GT, simply ROCKS!

its trully worth upgrading to if ur REALLY in for graphics.....n if uv got REAL deep pockets :lol:

I am a GUI designer

If you aren't interested in gaming, theres no need to go for a 6800GT. the nVidia Quadro series of graphics cards is designed keeping in mind need of a GUI designer

If getting an Amd solely for performance, get a socket 939 based mobo and processor.
