AMD Turion Processors

Does anyone have any experience or opinions on these, compared to Intel?

Thanks.

I'm an AMD fan. The ones I've had experience of work fine! Not had the pleasure of using a Turion yet though.

Not that I know anything at all about PCs but I have always had AMD (I know coz it tells me when the computer starts up!!)

I'm not sure what probs I could encounter but in all my using PCs which have always been 2nd hand (my dads ex work mate does them up as a business) the only probs I have had have been with the hard drives dying - I guess thats not related to AMD???

Thanks.

I have read that this processor runs hot but that's all I can find.

They work just as well as each other I doubt that most people would know what’s inside if it didn't say on the post/ boot screens.
I have used both and have no real preference of what I use both work well.

I had an AMD Athlon processor in an old PC and it never gave me any bother at all
