Hm... what do you mean by that, flamethrower?... I'm not very good in understanding things like "pwnz j00"... :frown: ...

So far, some interesting results: 3 votes for A64 will instantly destroy prescott and 2 vote for prescott will obliterate A64. At least two people will be disappointed there...

I think it will be faster at first but Intel will sure have some tricks left. But it should be a good product.

I love my Delta 60HP 7000 RPM fan that puts out more dB then CFM :eek:

**ROFL** 'pwnz j00', eh?

You see folks, normally this should be <b>o</b>wnz, not <b>p</b>wnz. <b>P</b>wnz brings up an entirely new meaning. I would have to assume it is short for 'pawns' as in either to sell at pawn shop, to pawn off to someone else, or to make you a pawn of.

Personally, I vote for the latter. Anyone who buys into AMD's x86-64 hype now is highly likely to be a mere pawn and parrot of AMD's marketing. Most of us simply have no need for 64-bit processing.

The first application of the word that isnt even a word "pwned" came out of Quake 3 Arena and gained popularity there after in the rest of the gaming world, much like the word llama, its just a variation on a word, its slang, who thought it up? who cares, its stupid but its fun!

I think "pwned" comes from lame leet speakers spelling "owned" wrong in the middle of a "glorious battle," so the mispelled form took favor just to add a little more flavor to it for those boner biters.

BTW, excellent acronym site there, svol. I had some fun with it.

Err hope that my smiley did indicate I was kidding and not really laughing! :eek: This sounds like you were more offended than thanking me...

Don't worry, I was just being sarcastic. But I forgot to either put a smiley or do the <sarcasm></sarcasm> bit... :smile:

It takes considerably more than that to really offend me!
