Which Computer is Better?

>>>>>>>>>EDIT: I PURCHASED OPTION 2. Thanks for the input.

So, Which computer would be better for botting?
(i.e. in this case, is RAM more important or Processor?)

Thanks.

OPTION 1:
AMD Phenom II Six-Core Processor 1055 2.8 GHz - 16 GB RAM - $800

OPTION 2:
Core i7-870 2.93 GHz - 12 GB RAM - $800

Thanks!

Well the AMD is a 6 core and the i7 is only 4 core, and either 12GB or 16GB of RAM is more than anyone would need.

Overall i would pick the one with the core i7 because i like Intel more than AMD.

 

[shortperson]

go with the i7

12 gb of ram is 2 times what you will truly need and as said above i like intel more too


unless you plan on running like 10 bots 12gb of ram will do

Which computer is better? Option one.

The processor has better GHZ and has more ram.

Obviously you would pick 16gb ram over 12gb ram, either way you won't be using up this much ram so it doesn't really matter... but we know what we would all pick ( 16 GB ).

AMD VS INTEL; usually Intel wins, however its your preference, do some research on either processors, both are very good and will be able to handle anything!

BTW: Is this a custom build? if not link me to where you're buying it please.

I would go with intel i have always been a fan of them and they seem to hold out better than AMD. go with i7

 

[Awesome Stranger]

Go with the i7, it has hyperthreading which AMD processors do not.

I say, build your own pc.

 

[KerokeroCola]

Wrong section. I'll move it to its appropriate place.

 

[KarlMarxx]

More is better, option 1

It is hard to tell as you have not listed any other specs such as graphics card.

You may be paying for a decent processor and RAM, but without a decent graphics card, it's going to go to waste (assuming you want to game).

 

[DangerousConformist]

well, i dont care much for gaming in general.
its primarily for rsbotting. i hope to run 8-14 bots.

 

[Awesome Stranger]

If you want to run 8-14 bots, get an i7 and 12GB of RAM and you'll be set.

Or, purchase 4-5 VPS(s)

To be honest, choose the Intel.'

It's one of the best and hasn't failed me.

Jesus Christ it's like some of you people listen specifically to the manufacturers that are trying to sell you these overpriced pieces of crap.

If you are botting 1-3 accounts at once, all you need is a good dual core and 4GB of RAM. If you want to bot more than 5, you might want a quad and 6GB of RAM. Past that, I'm not sure, but you should be able to adjust.

You're running fucking java applets, not folding@home.

 

[Noodles :)]

The i7 is a stronger processor, more ram then you'll ever need.

Tgump basically sums it up though.

 

AMD, no question. Their new line of 6-core processors have shown to give better performance than the regular i7s and even some of the top models. 6 cores > 4 cores, 16GB > 12GB, no-brainer.

i looked it up, and the listed i7 processor is about 20% better than the 6-core AMD processor.

thats why im wondering. is 20% more processor worth 4 gigs less ram?

thanks

 

[Rabs]

Option 2. You can pick up a 2gb stick of ddr3 or ddr2 ram for around $30.

 

[Noodles :)]

Get the i7, 12gig ram is still tons. I have 6gig ram and I've probably never even used more then 4gig. :s

 

[kill dank]

I would pick option 1 if I didn't care about changing the proc eventually. But I pick option 2 because it has an lg1156 socket and I could always buy the 880 that I want to upgrade the pc I'm using now.
