416044 2005-12-29 18:57:00 That kinda helps, thanks. It just doesn't make sence when for the same price you can get a Pen D Dual 3.0GHz over a AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core 2.0GHz. Why not get the 3.0 dual?
The reason a 2Ghz Athlon is called a 3800+ is because it is equivalent performance to an Intel 3.8Ghz CPU. So why on earth would you want a 3Ghz Intel over a 3800+ Athlon???
If you really want Intel then buy it - you have been given all the reasons and links to see that AMD outperforms Intel.

Well, I wouldn't own one but at the time the smaller,faster, better handling Jap cars spanked the Aussie V8's, showing them to be old, heavy slow cars based on outdated tech.

416046 2005-12-29 21:30:00 Definently the Athlon 64.

Fast, cheap and cool. :thumbs:

Rubbish.Fifty years ago I would have agreed with you. Today Jap cars are equal in quality to the top European cars.

It's the English and American cars that are rubbish.

And what has this got to do with CPU's????

416049 2005-12-30 07:58:00 And what has this got to do with CPU's???? More than you think :p , it is showing how different things, ie Japers and Aussie V8's with the Japers being lighter but less powerful, lets call these AMD and the Aussie V8's being heavy and more powerful lets call these Intel, the Japers beat the Aussie V8's, just as AMD beats Intel :p The_End_Of_Reality (334)
416050 2005-12-30 18:06:00 pctek,

becuase a tech explained to me that running a 3.0 dual is like running a 6.0GHz. So why the hell would I want to run a crappy 3.8 when i can run a 6.0GHz? AND I don't know what I want yet...that's why I started this forum. :2cents:

JJJJJ,

I didn't say they suck, I asked. DUH! :lol: Oh and how about reading the full forum before posting...You asked "what has this got to do with CPU's????"...read the post Metla left.

416051 2005-12-30 19:50:00 Tech-And if you run this Intel cpu its actually a 6GHZ.
Customer-Just give me my damn burger
Tech-Certainly Sir, Would you like fries with that?

becuase a tech explained to me that running a 3 . 0 dual is like running a 6 . 0GHz . So why the hell would I want to run a crappy 3 . 8 when i can run a 6 . 0GHz? AND I don't know what I want yet . . . that's why I started this forum . :2cents:

.

I'm not sure if you "tech" knows what he is talking about . A dual 3 . 0 is not a 6 . 0 .
Your program will still run at the same speed as on a 3 . 0 .
That is until software is available that can take advantage of both sections of the cpu
