The title says it all. What is your opinion. Which is the worse intel fanboy? Teq, or juin?
I vote juin but Teq is not much better with his constant AMD bashing. But juin is the worst on the whole forum in my opinion.

I don't think anyone cares what fanboys do anymore.
Although Riceboys really bug me. I really feel sorry for the cars they bastardize.

I saw a Riceboy today, holding cigarette, dialing a cellphone, driving a stick while trying to make a right hand turn today at the same time. All while trying to impress a girl in the passenger seat.

Give me a cold beer some weed and a lawn chair on a sunny day and I'm happy. Not to mention some chicks with big tits would be a nice bonus.

I've never really read Teq "bashing" AMD. I've seen his honest opinion that Intel is better in terms of long-term stability for businesses, and he's explained that he personally experienced fewer problems when he stopped selling AMD. I don't call that "bashing." Obviously, he's not an AMD fanboy, but there's no law that says everyone is required to adore AMD. While I personally like AMD, and I root for them to be successful in order to keep Intel honest, it's obvious that Intel is at least as good and probably superior in terms of the quality and performance of their current high-end processors.

Now, I think Teq is beginning to see AMD Fanboys as his enemies, and that's probably for much the same reason as Omid writes scathing articles about them.

I dunno... I know that Juin could be a very Intel sided fanboy, never really saw Teq as an Intel fanboy.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on :eek:

Juin had praised Opteron lately.

He is Intel-sided, but not a fanboy, and not biased, if he backs up his claims, which he does.

vk2amv should really watch what he's pointing at.

I decided to mess around in the CPU forum a bit. Looks like Teq is more of an Intel Fanboy than previously thought. hhehe.. oh and he's a big wuss that get's his likkle feelings hurt easy so he's gonna leave.. boohoo.

is he really? He claims he's 56 years old, and knows all about existence. Tough, cause he knows jack sh!t if he can't setup an amd system to work correctly for a few years.

That is basicaly my beef with teq. He doesnt really know much then he goes and blames it on AMD. That and the fact that AMD did have a possible heat problem with the T-Birds in the rare chance that the HSF came off but he puts the lable to all AMD CPU`s and keeps bringing it up over and over even when it is not relivent. It is like me telling everyone all the time the fact that intel CPU`s are ineffecient because of the longer pipeline especialy the willemette. It is a true fact but it is not relivent 99% of the time. And also his constant recommendation of celery`s to everyone even when they clearly need more grunt. He seems to have some love for the P4 celeron when we ALL know how much that CPU sucks. That is my beef with teq. juin well I havnt seen him say one good word about Opteron. I have seen the direct opposite but I havent seen any compliments. If anyone wants I can link a few threads of his Opteron bashing.

This is usual, I don't expect a 56 year old guy to be open minded. Most of the 40+ people are Intel biased and always look for problems with AMD or other Intel alternatives. Teq is no exception.

I'm 29 and when it comes to workstations and the workplace I'm stickly Intel. At home I use AMD but those people are not biased they are smart. If it aint broke dont fix it.

Can you honestly tell me with a straight face that an AMD system with an nforce chipset comming from an OEM is going to have more problems than a Pentium with an Intel chipset.

Reply to Yahiko81

Now, no but why bother when you've been using Intel for years and the price difference is only a few dollars more.

I'll explain it to you. If your work in any department that has been using Intel without any problems and decide to go to AMD to save a couple hundred bucks. (In all honesty your likely to get a better deal from a large OEM supplier that sells Intel) Anyway if you switch to AMD and anything goes wrong, that's your ass. It doesn't matter what the problem is the first thing your boss is going to say is we never had that problem while using Intel. Now if your just starting out why not use AMD. But for and established corporation switching is a slight risk. When your building machines for the job most people dont go to Newegg.com. Until recently with the Nforce2 (Which still has it's quirks) AMD systems still required a slightly higher skill level to assemble. They still had heat problems, the chipsets were not all that great either. It takes time for a corporation to shake it's sketchy past and AMD certainly has one.

Can you honestly tell me with a straight face that before the Nforce2,KT400, MP(Once the bugs were ironed out) and MPX (I still think the MPX sucked, but if your ignore the USB issue then it was a stable platform) that if you were in the workplace you would build several systems around a Irongate, KT133,133A,266,266A,Nfarce1 chipset? It's not worth the trouble to save a few hundred bucks.

Actually custom built pc's have no place in the business industry. That's why you use the OEM supplied pc's. If you can save $100 per system on 3k systems then that's a savings of $300,000. If you are buying from a large OEM like Compaq then if anything fails they fix it. Almost all problems are solved nextday. If there is a chipset problem then you get your representative to switch systems and cut you a deal for the trouble you've already suffered. So it makes perfect since to switch when you are using a large OEM. Now I'd never put a custom built AMD or Intel system into production. There are just to many variables. Lets say a part fails 2 yr's down the road. With an OEM it's still under warranty and they have a replacement available next day. If it's custom built you'll have to find the part on your own unless you stockpiled it (which costs extra money). So all in all there is no difference in buying an AMD or Intel solution from an OEM like Compaq. Same support, same warranty.

This is what I'm speaking about, with AMD in the past you had huge issues with chipsets. Company downtime is a bitch. You should look and see some quotes from some the OEM's from time to time. You'll see that Intel is often the same cost as AMD systems and you'll have a much wider variety of systems to choose from. I'm not saying that AMD shouldn't be in the workplace, but I'm defending peoples choices to stick with Intel. They have thier reasons, If you could tell my why they shouldn't stick with a product that has always served them well then I'll agree with you. Otherwise we're arguing different points.

I think the simple fact is that business are not going to switch to AMD just because it would be nice for AMD to be successful. There has to be some incentive to the business to make the switch. Until the eighteen months or so, AMD's have had a reputation for being less stable than Intel, and despite the fact they were higher performing, no business wants buggy systems. Now, of late, AMD has done a lot to improve the situation. So now, you guys tell me...what incentive has there been for a business to make the switch over the last year? AMD systems have recently been on par with Intel, not superior, and they are no longer cheaper (until the last couple weeks.) So where is the incentive? In order for anyone to expect any mass migration from Intel to AMD, AMD has to prove itself <i>preferrable</i> to Intel, not just equal. Maybe Opteron will do that for AMD, but don't expect businesses to switch to AMD just because you like them.

How old are you?
What are your credentials in electronics?
How much experience do you have servicing electronics?
How long have you been working with computers?
How many computers have you built?
How many computers do you take care of?


Unless you can beat me on all of those questions, I figure you're just a loudmouthed little twerp who's nose is out of joint for some reason even you don't understand.

Ok totally agree with that. I'm not saying people should switch to AMD just for the sake of it. I'm just saying that it's a viable solution now. One of the main reasons companies don't switch is because of added costs. Lets say you have a ghost image, well if you switch to a different platform you'll have to pay the added costs of developing the image, testing the image, and then storage for the images. Of course you have to do this with every major hardware change, but if you've been buying the same system for a while there's not point in changing. I do know that compaq offers and Athlon XP solution at about $100 cheaper than a comparable p4 solution and it's about the same cost as a slower celeron solution.

Actually they have been cheaper. Just because the price of the processors have been about the same doesn't mean that the OEM's weren't charging more for the well known P4.

OK, I got some insight in his pro-Intel sight and it seems he blames AMD for issues he could've prevented by using a better HSF (he mainly blames them for overheating issues, while both Intel as AMD CPUs put out the same heat).

And he seems to think that because he has so much experience his word must be the trueth (as Yahiko81 posted)... which is ofcourse a weak statement.

I used to have an older electronics teacher like him. He always thought he was so smart. He'd always smart off something like I'm better than you because I've been doing this for 20 years. Well finally we were doing something with fiberoptics and he kept messing up the ends and I was getting all of mine right. He was kinda mad at me and then I smarted off "You're just mad because I'm better at this than you and you've been doing this for 20 year while I've only been doing it for 20 secs." hehehe.. old goat.
