Aw man - now see - you all have your heads up yer butts with your cyrix, amd and intel chips. Shoot - I got be on of those new bangin' 500mhz VIA chips with a super 7 mobo - oh yeah....
VIA!!!!!
No, serriously. Now that the difference in speed is miniscule and barely registered - who cares? You can say that one is faster than the other and bring out whatever statistics you want but in reality the difference is almost non existant. it's a stupid debate. Besides - the most important thing is ALL of the components. You can have all the best items and one bad part will crap the whole thing up.

Thank God my wonderful wife wanted to build a second computer for our first year wedding anniversary. HEY WAIT A MINUTE.... OUR SECOND YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP IN FEBRUARY!!!

I meant the new CPU's they put out - for socket 7 (I think they were the old cyrix chips with a new name).Quote:

Ah the joys of having someone who understands getting new hardware. I have already explained to my girlie that the PC's always come first and there would need to be a new one every single year we were together money and other things be damned. She said "Oh really, great!" then she said something sexual. I almost instantly knew she was the one for me.:kiss:
Maybe you like to burn your money? J/K :DQuote:
I could give 5 reasons to go with Intel over AMD right now
As for the P4s being slower, the original ones, 1.3Ghz etc, were often slower or same speed as the P3s. And look at the new Celerons, check out Anandtech's review, the 1.7 gig is beat or matched by the original Celeron and the Duron in some cases.

Actually I believe it's the C3 and it is not super 7 but Socket 370. Not positive though... It is a good alternative for a workstation as it is VERY cool. I think it's something like 12 watts compared to 35 for Celeron, 65 for Duron and 75 for Athlon/P4.
I'm not going intot he intel vs amd debate - scott will kill the whole dang thread if we start pulling out stats and crap.Quote:

I've had a zero problems with either AMD or Intel stuff. Zero.
I have had some problems with motherboards made for the T-birds and that soured me to them. If I can't get what I consider to be a decent chipset for the T-birds and above then I'm not getting one. As I said above - you have to get all decent parts or thing runs like a piece o' poo. I consider the boards with intel chipsets to be better boards from personal experience, and the opposite for sis and via.
My 2 cents.
Oh - as for burning money - a 2000 and a 2ghz retail on newegg have an $8 difference. ;)
Newegg quotes the XP2100 Retail at $139 and the 2.0A at $195...re-check the prices :confused:Quote:

Also an XP2200 is $175 (OEM...but still)
I don't mean to start an Intel vs AMD myself either, I have also owned an Intel system and it's been stable too (my VIA KT266a has been pretty stable too), I'm just impressed with my XP1600 that sells for $50-something and mine has OCed to 1.75GHz on air cooling. A lot of chip for not a lot of cash ;)
Anyhoo...:)
You are right. I was looking at the MP's. My bad.Quote:

I can vouch that about 1 month ago they were identical. I swear!
