And what do you think Intel will do as the XP gets to 2gig.If it even does,as they are moveing on past the XP core.Intel has the 3gig on the way out and working on the 4gig(runing now on LN).You gonna tell me that a 2gig AMD will dust a 4gig Intel.I'll have to see it to believe it.So Intel will be scaleing just as AMD.P4's get stronger the higher mhz they go so the advantage of P4 will show as the MHZ scales upward.the P4 was desiegned ground up around MHZ.It is a weak point now but at 4gig and up it will prove to be a good idea.I think alot of people are gonna be eating their words.Or they will just act like the never said what they did.Remember the whole"autothrottleing thing".Everyone was saying yeah who cares if it is 2gig if it runs at 1gig all the time.What fools.To this day my pc has never throttled down.It is a saftey factor and a good one at that.One bad opinion gets spread around and all asudden the P4 2gig is only 1gig.How easily the masses are led astray,by rumors and propaganda!
AMD is now doing a socket change and I don't see anyone slamming them for it like they did Intel.Little less boasting and a lot more reality are needed here.
Both good cpu's.My point was that the two are totally dif.Not that the Intel chip is weaker-just a dif. chip all together.The article is wrong that is all.
I don't know of any progs. that will only run on one brand and not the other so how is it that a AMD will do everything and a Intel not?At the speed they are both at it is just argueing for the sake of argueing.Brand name prejudice is just sickening and I am getting tired of it.
The P4 1.6A is a **** good chip that o'clocks beyond 2gig with standard cooling.If you want to get into the most bang for the buck there it is.The whole AMD is cheaper than intel arguement is getting old and weak.This isnt the case anymore give it a rest.If you wanna get the flagship chips that is the only dif.And there you are just hunting for bragging rights anyhow.I cant think of anything that I would notice a huge dif. running a 2.2a over my P4 1.5.Once I get 100+fps in my fav. games I'm happy.Anything more is a waist of dough.Some guys act like they need NASA'a mainframe to play quake.Get off it.:)
