My son would like a gaming PC tower for his birthday: I have the choice of a tower with either Intel or AMD CPUs
However, he wants to keep using LL, or Linux generally, dual-booted with Windows OS.
I know that AMD processors seem to give you more 'bang for your buck', and seem to max at speeds above those of Intel, though am no expert on this.
Do AMD processors support LL or Linux as well as Intel ones, or is Intel better?
I also want a reasonably priced gaming tower, not a battle tank with flashing lights that'll cost the earth, and one that's not going to push up our energy bills too much - some I've seen are rated at 500 Watts - I could heat my son's bedroom in winter with that power!
Would be grateful for some advice to help me decide.
Cheers
Mike
