Alas, after 2.5 years of using my AMD XP1800+, I hear a continous short beep sound. I opened my casing, and find out that the power supply seems to be giving the problem (you can see the fan spins and slows down, and trys to pick up speed again). I am thinking of either:
1) trying to change the power supply
2) get a whole new system
I checked on hardwarezone and compared the prices of the P4 and AMD processors and motherboard. But I must say I am more inclined towards P4 3.0 C/E.
Now the question is, would you guys recommend a P4 or AMD?
This computer will be on most of the time (24/7), and will be used for video editing, image editing and movie watching. No gaming. Since the computer is gg to be on 24 hrs, my guess is that P4 will be a cooler system.
And what is the difference in a C and E processor and those RAM stuff, in order to activate the HT technology?
Thanks a million, CSers!
