I like AMD for the pricing, but one thing I've found and maybe someone out there could explain why, Intel you can run EZ CD creator 4.0, but you can't run it with AMD, why? I have found this to be true of a couple of other programs as well with AMD that run find on Intel https://forums.windrivers.com/

EZ-CD Creator ran fine on my system. Stopped using it though in favor of Nero. Much better program IMHO.

As for the AMD vs. Intel bit, I ran Intel up until the beginning of this summer, then I got a Duron. Haven't really noticed a change in stability though there are most definetly heat issues with this chip. Look to AMD as the cause of global warming and leave CO2 alone. But in all seriousness, the Athlon outperformed the P3, so it's carrying a user base over. It's also the underdog, and everyone loves an underdog. Last, Intel screwed over consumers for a while on price and would have kept doing so except for the Athlon so when a viable option presented itself a lot of people embraced it (btw, I recommend you never phsically embrace a Tbird/Duron while it is on, them suckers smart). I have just realized that I didn't give an opinion, but I typed all this up so I'm gonna post it anyways.

Intel is only "more reliable" than AMD because most people don't know how to cool Athlon based systems. If you have an Athlon with sufficient cooling it's just as reliable as any Intel is.

what can u expect when Gay-way or Hewlett Crappard is selling 1.4 Athlons with Orbs https://forums.windrivers.com/

I would disagree there actually, even though a small element of truth is there. The vast majority of stability issues lie with BIOS settings, PSU's, incorrect placings of PCI devices, wrong drivers used (mainly wrong sequence of installing the drivers with older files overwriting newer files which then negates the installation originally), and finally cutting costs by using cheap hardware (such as PC-Chips mobo's, no-name Geforce cards, generic RAM, etc, etc).

Heating problems would be the last thing on my list with stabilities as if it was heat that causes the main problems then this system here would not be running 100% stable with an idle CPU speed of over 50C and system temp of over 40C ( and you know what cooling I have in this already )!!!!

Oh and I will agree that the Orbs are a waste of time https://forums.windrivers.com/ https://forums.windrivers.com/

I've tested 4 different AMD CPU's and also 4 different MoBos with a miro DC30+, and i have seen that AMD cpu will not work wll with video, the linear disk transfer is about 1.9 MB/s.
Used NT, W98SE, and W2K.
Personaly I like AMD more than Intel, but with a 300W case and a BIG fan.

this is for the earlier comment on the using yer computer to heat yer house..
I use my computer to heat my room in the winter..
because my room is far away from the central air and the bed is over the duct not much heat comes in.. thats why my computer comes in handy when heating up my room.. so after about half an hour or so my room is all toasty warm hehe

right now I use a

Pentium - MMX 166Mhz heheh the old skool $hit
32Mb Ram
2Mb S3 Video Card
56k Modem
Sound Blaster 16
Running Win 95

so i know my computer will beat everyones in this room.. hehe
wanna drag race to prove it? =P

Peace
