Kevin and Patrick show us what went inside the final Ultimate Gaming Machine. Covered in this segment: case, motherboard, CPU, water cooling system, and power supply.
I don't think anyone will intelligently argue the fact that Intel has the fastest consumer-level processors on the market. However, these processors always suffer on a bang-per-buck comparison. By and large, looking at performance and power consumption per dollar, AMD processors will give you the better deal. However if you have the cash and you must have the fastest system possible you must go with Intel at this point.
** Oh, and I have one more thing to say to you Intel haters.
I'm not trying to say that AMD processors are HORRIBLE. But many of them simply cant live up to a top of the line Intel processor such as the Core 2 Extreme.
Many people use AMD processors because they're cheaper. Although that's true, keep this in mind... You get what you pay for.
Anyone knows the year this aired?

AMDs are real processors.
So are VIAs and ARMs.

Top of the line performance = Lots of money.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
PS: To the person who gave my AMD vs. Intel comment a thumbs down, PISS OFF. Screw the Intel haters. Use a REAL processor. Fuck AMD.
I have a Core 2 Extreme quad-core overclocked to 4.4 GHz. And the cache size is a whopping 12 MB!
AMD can't compete with that. The Cache size on a Phenom X4 is only 4MB. An Athlon 64 X2 has only 1 or 2MB. Weak....

Well god, I ended up getting a 1200W Thermaltake Toughpower. I love it. It's a very nice PS. It runs quietly and it's very reliable.

Try a silverstone strider 1000wt

Yeah, except in the magic reverse world of Age of Conan where your frame rate actually increases with antialiasing on due to bad game coding.

Oops, I had that the other way around. If it's ON, you have better picture quality. If it's off, it looks blurry
