Best platform for Winuae: AMD or Intel?
« on: December 18, 2006, 05:26:28 AM »
I am lookin to make a pc mainly for emulation, mainly consoles and amiga.  I wish to use an Athlon cpu or a pentium 3ghz with a geforce video card.  On a bang per buck basis should I go athlon 3200, 3500 or P4 3.0ghz.  The p4 has a bigger cache and i beleive this very important for emulating.  I know amigans have a traditionally anti-wintel bias but i just want the cpu that will give me the best performance for the price.  Currently cpu prices in Australia are Athlon 3200 $113, Athlon 3500(AM2)$139, p4 3.0ghz $117.  Is there nay advantage to going for coreduo or core2duo re:emulation
