[asterisk-users] intel vs amd motherboards

[C F]

I have recently build 2 machines, one with an Intel Pentium Dual Core
CPU, and one SATA HDD, and the other with a single AMD 64 bit CPU, and
a RAID 1 w 2 SATA HDD. Both costed the same even though the AMD had 2
HDDs. Here are the show translations from both:

This shows that the AMD 64 bit is worth much more than just the price
difference.
