what does everyone prefer, AMD processors, or Intel processors?
Intel P4, GeForce 4Graphics, RDRAM 800Mhz
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”
AMD all the way
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 :p.
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.

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 
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.
Looks like we have some geeks in here…
I have an AMD Athlon XP 1600 sitting in my box right now… the PR ratings suck and all, but they’re still good processors.

Right. AMD is about to release a chip toward the end of this year, they had working samples of it at Comdex. Funny thing, Intel had working samples of nothing there. Hmmm.
But… I’m not gonna get into a mis-information argument right now…
Both present pretty advanced technology. Intel with their hyperthreading, and AMD with their integration with their new Hammer core (cheap, fast PCs). Integration is a bandwagon Intel stepped off long time ago (well… they never got on it… it was all talk), and Hyperthreading is something AMD has yet to accomplish.
is anyone else on here a frequenter of the [H]ard|Forums? its a computer/OCer forum…check it out at www.hardforums.com - be sure to put FIRST in your sig.
Theres also a whole section dedicated to AMD vs. Intel
I’m with Matt Reiland. Intel Forever!
