AMD or Intel

[Rob Colatutto]

what does everyone prefer, AMD processors, or Intel processors?

[Matt Reiland]

Intel P4, GeForce 4Graphics, RDRAM 800Mhz

[Rob Colatutto]

AMD Athlon XP 2200, ATI Radeon 8500 128mb DDR, DDR 333mhz

Look for the amd part (section 3) on this article. Lol, "third-world based company,"child labor," I know this is old, but that guy is so misinformed it cracks me up every time.

And oh, I have an amd.

wow....that article couldn't be more wrong, i hope everyone who reads it knows that it is a joke, and AMD is based in cali of course....like all other big tech companies. AMD will always be 2 steps ahead of Intel

/me starts chanting AMD

INTEL is just like Nike, over priced!!! All you pay for is just the logo, and crap "under the hood"

[Ricky Q.]

AMD all the way

[Jeff Waegelin]

Definitely AMD. Better price for performance, even if may not be the fastest.

I like AMD so much, I bought two of their procs

SMP! w00t

ASUS A7M266-D, 2x Athlon MP 1800+ (@1.92 GHz), 1GB PC2100 crucial DDR, ASUS GeForce 3 (madly overclocked, but soon to be upgraded), 19'' monitor, and my favorite part - 500W Power Supply.

i have all AMD's, except for one old Pentium Pro n200, which was given to my dad as a 'worthless' computer. i'm currently running linux on it, since it's actually pretty stable. other than that though, all AMD .

Seems like this is an AMD group... not suprising seeing how most people in FIRST are geeks!

Of course, there are always those people who say they like AMD better than Intel, yet still use Intel... pity pity. Kinda like those people who say they don't like Windows, but don't bother to try an alternative...

Please say you're joking.

Please say you're joking.

Eh, well, I don't know. Have you read that whole article? I personally thought it was hilarious. I mean, that guy either wrote it as a joke, or he's the most misinformed person in history. Of course, if he is serious, than I don't find it funny if people believe him. But, come on, comet cursor is a hacker program??? If he knows what comet cursor is than it has to be a joke. Then there's the whole linux is 'soviet technology' thing. If anybody believes any of that I guess I don't find it funny, but for someone who knows about that stuff, I at least thought it was amusing.

hehe, AMD are just so much better, i love my 1ghz Athlon and its more than fast for any game with my 128mb ATI Radeon 8500, in all, AMD is the best, fastest, and they cost about 1/4 of what they probably should, but i'm not complaining

You count be more right....Excellent analogy...especially from a fellow shoe salesman

[Matt Reiland]

I have many friends at Intel (In Arizona Fab Plants) and I asure you they are not a step behind AMD. In fact ask AMD who likes to reverse engineer chips and rename them. Intel has a strict buisness plan that allows them to make money on each chip set. When the demand dips, notice how a new chip is released. I have heard Intel has multiple next generation chips available now, it just doesn't make sense to release them at this time when there is no competition for them.

For me? I still remember the days when Intel compatible didn't always mean 100% compatible, companies like Cyrix and AMD. These days I think they are totally interchangeable but I still like having Intel Inside just like some people like to wear nike's because they can.
