"amd processor will outdo any similar intel processor." Your dumb, thats all I can say, I'm lost for words.

n3wt3ch said:That doesn't suprise me at all. When I first got my old machine the AMD processors only went up to 1.3 GHZ and were killing Intel's P4 @ 2.4GHZ. I couldn't belive that a CPU that runs at lower speed could outperform such a (supposedly) advanced CPU. Can anyone give some insight into why there is such a dramatic change?
