There are always going to be AMD supporters that disagree, but it was common knowledge at the time that P3 was a stronger all round package than the equivolent AMD offering at the time. I'm not saying it was twice as good, I was just trying to demonstrate a principle for the benefit of those that simply base comparison on clock speed. Yea sorry but I will have to shoot you down as well, both your posts are drivell. I clearly remember ditching my Intel P2 and going Athlon as they slaughter P3 in the equivalent price range. You remember the only thing Intel could come up with was "gee those Athlons run hot". AMD held the performance crown right up to when P4 went 800FSB(gee those Intels run hot), then AMD got slaughtered for some time till AMD64's went Mainstream. And as of the last few months its back to Intel with there new Dual core duo's. I will leave it up to you to go Googleing.	Battleneter (60)

At the time the early P3's were released they would have been Intel main competitor and greatly inferior. The early Athlons used a slot interface as opposed to a socket which had greater latency and thus werent as competitive. But by the time AMD and Intel had reached 700MHz both were using sockets and had very similar performance.	Pete O'Neil (6584)
