Intel biased forum??

Alright... I want to know where I can go to find a forum that is Intel biased. We always get into these AMD vs. Intel debates and it always ends up with one or two people calling everyone else on this forum an AMD fanboy. So... I want someone to tell me which forum I could sit in on for a bit to hear the other side of the story. Is there a forum out there where I will be in the minority when supporting AMD CPUs? If there is, I would like to go check it out, so let me know where it is.

A.K.A Not bias?

I have read quite a bit of Xtremesystems and I have found them to be rather pro-AMD as well, when suggesting what to build for gamers. It is odd, because many of them have Intel rigs themselves, but suggest AMD systems. Most of the guys going for mad OCing have Intel rigs.

the thing is, most people who uses a computer forum regularly are people who are well informed about computers, because they loves or their job forces them to be very informed about computers, on the other hand if you go ask someone from different places then they migh not even know about AMD at all.....

You wont find too many pro-intel sites, or intel inside(idiot outside) fanboys. Nobody likes being laughed at.

FUGGER also picks moderators for the site, so maybe he appreciates some qualities more than others..

I've only had one Intel system but my A64 are far more stable than that P4. I only OCd the AMD one and it was stable.

To be fair with Intel. My only Intel rig was a Sony VAIO so maybe by being an OEM system it had less quality components than my AMD one that I built from scratch.

<b><font color=blue>If you try to please everybody, nobody will like you<font color=blue></b>

There's a guy in that thread who says he puts overclocked AMD systems out 'in the field', including the 'medical communities'.

Who would do that? I don't think they'd notice the difference, so why not go for guaranteed long-term stability, and put as little stress on the components as possible? Idiot.

A lot of Pro-Intel stuff there for sure. I'm happy with my A64 rig myself

But think about how fast they could monitor them all dying on the OCed rigs.

Yeah but then the doctors will want to operate carelessly to quickly get back to their gaming session.

I have heard that Intel cpus are generally more durable and last longer than AMDs. Of course, the posts at that Intel lover forum seem to say this also. So, is this true or not? I am not biased either way, but obviously AMD has the market for performance right now.

The P4c 2.4ghz comes to mind.

So, how many folding rigs do you have? What team do you fold for?

Interesting thoughts. And almost no posts of "Intel is just the best. AMD sucks". I must say, actual reasons and logic behind posts on a message board, it's kind of a new thing to experience :Þ

A common thread on that board and something that I've heard a lot of is that people are very happy with Intel chips on Intel chipsets (and conversely, stay away from the nforce boards for Intel chips). I've personally had some interesting results comparing SiS vs Intel chipsets from the same mobo manufacturer (very different stability with all components the same).

My point is this - will AMD break into the chipset market with their new fab? Although their funny lawsuit and actions seem to indicate they want more market share in processors, providing matching chipsets is already helping Intel and probably could help AMD as well (Intel is barely able to keep up with chipset demand). Could the new AMD factory be a home for new processors, with the older fabs being used for chipset? AMD seems to have enough of a raw processor power/benchmark lead to back off there and focus more efforts on chipsets (resulting in still better performance and better stability, while increasing revenue). I really haven't seen any hints at this in articles, I wonder if this is even being considered. Nforce is great for AMD, but could AMD do better themselves? I would think so! It would certainly take the wind out of Intel's "We're a whole platform company...just buy everything from us, it's really easy" strategy. Thoughts?

I'm just your average habitual smiler =D

yeah, Right now AMD is just plain kicking ass. There's not many reasons for anyone to be pushing Intel except in off cases of either extreme value rigs, or other certain little niche systems. As for the up to date tech, AMD has been doing everything better and usually cheaper. (yeah they upped the $$/unit with some of the new cpu's, but you should know what I'm getting at)

Otherwise it's a matter of name recognition or the like. eg. "well, Dell only sells Intel so they have to be better",,, that kinda thing
