This place is starting to get ridiculous and I'm starting to wish that some pro-Intel people start showing up as this forum is starting to turn into an AMD brainwashing campaign of some sort
Oh no, I'm not going to deny that I would take an AMD64 before a Pentium 4 anyday...but I have my specific reasons for that, main one being AMD simply has a much larger overclocking rep and that's the big thing I'm looking for...however, you guys need to get it out of your heads that AMD is the greatest thing since sliced bread
Intel still makes fine processors that still stomp out AMD is certain enviroments and they are still much better choices in a variety of tasks...main one being they're still the big bad number crunching cores due to their longer pipelines and excessive L2 cache...and many are unaware of this, but if Intel had marketed the Dothans better and made them more availible for the desktop enviroment they would have easily been the next XP-M wave of processors
Intels revised architecture that's due out in a few months looks very promising, that isn't to say it will be good or bad...but it certainly looks very attractive on paper compared to AMDs M2 roadmap for the next year
I see I got quoted though...and I also won't deny the fact that your friend is an idiot...otherwise I'm very impressed he was able to hackzor the Windows code and rewrite all of it for multiple threads
