We also run both processor types but see a huge difference between the
two. AMD is running faster BUT we also have 2GB memory in the AMD
computers as opposed to 1GB in the Pentium boxes.
Also, ArcMAP software is still limited by the 32-bit Windows-XP
operating system so does not see the advantage of dual-core processors
in the AMD boxes. We have not tried running ArcMap on the 64-bit
systems yet.

We use both types of processors at our Office. To be honest neither
seems to have an advantage over the other. We appear to get similar
performance from similar speed AMD and Intel Processors.

Subject: [gislist] AMD vs Pentium
I think this is an age old question. I have read both kinds of reviews
where one is said to be better than the other (AMD vs Pentium). It's
almost as if authors of these reviews are already biased about a
particular processor.
However, these reviews mostly compare processor strengths/weaknesses in
terms of DVD ripping or mp3 to wav conversions or running games that
require extreme graphics.
But what I want to know is specific to running ArcGIS applications. Has
anyone tried and seen if AMD processors are better than P4 or vice versa
for running ArcGIS applications? What does ESRI recommend?
Regards,
Solomon
