Who uses AMD and who uses intel?

 

For me I dumped intel when I heard about TCPA and now I'm running an AMD Athlon XP 2200+

pentium 4 life i have never run a AMD or mac never will pentium may be a little more money but they are better over all. if your AMD over heats say bye bye to cpu but if a pentium over heats it slows down so it keeps cool. i forget the video i saw but they were running jk2 or qukae 3 or something and they took the fan off a amd and smoke litterly came up from the cpu and a intel the frame rates just droped to like 3 or something and the cpu was saved.

thats just what i think about pentium \ amd

Just bought a pentium 4 2.6 ghz processor 800 mhz FSB and a new motherboard, as well as a seagate 7200 rpm 8mb cache 120 GB hard drive.

 

 

I personally like intel, but that's just me.

Intel is good theres no question but they plan on and support TCPA. I'd rather not support a company that does that. AMD will eventually improve itself. My AMD hasn't caused much trouble at all.

^^ For those who don't know what tcpa is.

yea i just bought a pentium 2.6 800 mhz fsb 160 gb hd :P it owns me

I've got an Intel P4 2.4 now. My previous PC was an AMD Athlon 1Ghz and I had some problems with it, thats why i have chosen for Intel. No problems now.

im an intel fan, waiting for the new 700 something pin chip due out sometime in 2004, right now im running a p4 northwood [email protected] 30degC with arctic silver

AMD is just cheaper and convenient, I mean who turns off their fan anyways just to see it smoke?

well if your mobo isnt brain damaged, it will turn off once your chip starts to overheat. plus, if you spring an extra $10 for a good fan, it will never overheat.

 

you need to look at more than the clock speed for determining which company is better.. you have to choose the right chip for what you're doing. for those of us that don't know, there are two types of processing: integers and floating point operations.

 

intels run on integers better. (by the way, integers are whole numbers, positive, zero, or negative. for instance, 1, 2, 966, -65535...)

this makes them better for processing binary and the larth, so they are good for sheer mathematical operations. For instance, editing and saving large movies.

 

amd's on the other hand, process Floating Point Numbers better. These have no fixed amount of digits before or after the decimal point (ie. a floating point). 3.1415, -347.0, 2.06E23 are all floating point numbers.

 

A "FLOP" then, is a mathematical calculation of floating-point numbers, say 2.06E23 x 16.01.

 

FLOPS however do not represent the clock speed, but more of the 3D processing power.

 

MIPS is a third way to express and measure speed. it stands for Millions of Instructions Per Seconds, fairly self explanitory.

 

So basically what this all means is: Processing? Intel. Games? AMD.

 

By the way, no one of these alone can compare the speeds of 2 processors. This is why we have all 3 measurements. (MIPS, Mhz, FLOPS)

Amd All Teh Way

Thank you snakey.

I just read that article on TCPA..

oh dear god NO

that seems so wrong, like such an invasion of privacy

 

well I'm safe with my AMD's... but will I have to run winxp forever? :(

or worse yet, switch to *nix...

 

edit: this also distinctly reminds me of the 'thought police' from george orwell's 1984

Get teh amd.

BTW, *nix ownz xp ! k, thx.

You're absolutely right snakey. Orwell's predictions are coming true a little late. If they finally do establish TCPA someone will make a really good emulator for *nix so you won't have to worry about incompatibilities with your win32 proggies.

 

Oh and don't forget the possibility of a 3rd software company that might allow support for both application types. That is anti tcpa. If TCPA does get put in I guarantee a competator software company will swoop in and steal microsoft's spotlight almost putting it out of business.

 

But since most of the major pc manufacturers are part of the TCPA i could be wrong.

Fuck the TCPA, makes me think about switching to amd ;x

even tho i have no problem with switchin to *nix

I use RedHat 7.0 for Unix environment

I'm thinking of upgrading to RedHat 9 soon.

The Kernel should be up to 2.6 after RedHat 9 edition...Can't wait to see what happens.

 

With Linux you can run 'win4lin' and operate Windows 98 on the Linux platform if you like. Everything works great under win4lin except games.

Windows 98 works faster and smoother under Linux OS with win4lin.

You can use Wine for games with a bit of configuration and computer savvy.

 

With the right drivers you can run OpenGL and D3D on Linux no problem and play any computer game for Windows on Linux. Takes a bit of configuring to get it going but it does work. I have ran TFC and Quake III with minimal issues.

 

With SDL and AVIPLAY you can run Videos that run just as nice as windows can under Linux and you have better options too.

 

TCPA scares the shit out of me. I would not endorse such skull-duggery.

Intel can kiss my white ASS.

 

AMD and Linux will take over I hope. FUCK Bill Gates and Fuck TCPA.

AMD and Linux will take over I hope. FUCK Bill Gates and Fuck TCPA.

 

All i can say to that is : damn right

When Microsoft takes over the world and builds the Deathstar i'm joining the rebellion.

amd's get too hot and fans are loud and water cooling is expensive

oh well that's it, subject closed

 

ALL AMD's get too hot, ALL AMD fans are LOUD. Not ONE of them is quiet. WATER COOLING IS THE ONLY OPTION.

both AMD and Intel support tcpa you silly fuqtard

 

CLEWANMAN?!? TIS THAT J))?

 

 

EDIT:

OMG PROOF

http://www.againsttcpa.com/tcpa-members.html

 

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. aka AMD

 

the only hope is that sco loses against IBM and redhat doesnt support tcpa, and the bill requiring tcpa fails

 

other wise you can count that I, or someone else will crack it

 

 

B============D

 

MR CLEAN?!?!?! THAT YOU MAN?!?!

 

edit #2: International Business Machines Corporation aka IBM

 

LOL IBM IS NO HERO LMAO

 

CLEAN?!?!?! YOU??!11

sn0w[gade]

"both AMD and Intel support tcpa you silly fuqtard"

 

 

So AMD is in with TCPA

B I G F U C K I N G D E A L

It'll be cracked.

:rolleyes:

 

INTEL IS JEWISH and want's all the money for their preciousesssesessss chip.

 

AMD is m3n, cheaper, faster.......and my fans are quiet.

what, no 'i run a commodore 64' option?

the TPM uses 2048 key legnth RSA block cypher encryption which is done INSIDE the tpm (fritz chip), the only way your gonna crack that is with a hammer. if they can't crack commview 4.0 for me, they certainly can't fucking crack that. even the fucking opcodes are encrypted.

 

if you didn't understand any of that, too bad.

 

edit: mr clean? is that really you? last time we met you beat me up. although that was no suprise i miss the days when you were nice.

sn0w you're freakin me out but the offer is still on the table
