Tom: Do a CPU Poll

I think Toms should do a poll to see what chip you run on your home computer. From the forum, sounds like a ton of AMD users, but those Intel freaks could just be hiding out. Maybe a GPU poll could follow it. Think it would be kind of interesting.

TBird 800 - Asus A7V 1005a
256 PC133 - Maxtor 45GB ATA100
Radeon 32DDR - SB Live MP3+

athlon 500 (old school)- Asus K7V
256 PC133 cas3- maxtor 27GB ATA66
Guillemot Maxi gamer xentor 32MB
(Fastest TNT2 ultra ever even though doesn't do 4x it was made with faster ram then all others.)
MX300- moster sound (it's not awful)
COOLING- large Global Win 2 fan heat sink
Card cooler (2 large fans over graphics card) Hard drive cooler (2 intake fans in front of HD) New ball bearing intake fan in front one in back and one on top blowing hot air out. Keeps my feet warm in the winter.

"Are you saying that I can dodge bullets?"

Did you ever realize that Tom's is a little slanted towards AMD?!!! He did do a good review of the PIV and I am glad of that. I have respect for his work. Why isn't AMD getting hammered on the 760 DDR chipset? Hmmmm

Just maybe that is why not very many Intel people here.

By the way:

750 Athlon Abit KA7
Gladiac (GF2) SBLive
HP 9200I CDR/W scsi

<b> Fragg at will!!! </b>

K62-450
ATI Expert 128mg


This baby smokes the K6-233 / Number 9 2mg it replaced.

Well, if somebody wants to call me prejudiced or that I don't give every processor a chance, here's my debunk:

1)
AMD Tbird 1100
Asus A7V
256MB Ram
Promise RAID controller
2x IBM Deskstar 46.1GB, RAID 0
ATI Radeon AIW 32MB DDR
19" Samsung 955DF Monitor
7 fans:
- Chrome orb on CPU
- regular fan on ATI
- 120mm fan over the PCI cards
- standard power supply fan
- 2 80mm sunnon fans, 1 front, 1 back
- blowhole at the top with another fan
COOL

2)
k6-233, old IBM Aptiva
64MB RAM, 3.2GB (IBM) + 6.1 GB (Maxtor) HDDs
1MB ATI RageII+ Built in 2d (ugh)
Diamond monster (original Voodoo, 4MB
etc etc

3) IBM 770ED laptop
Pentium II 266, 64MB RAM, 8.0GB HDD, 14.1" TFT, DVD-ROM, Token Ring network, etc etc

4) Old IBM Pentium 200 Laptop, not even sure whats all in there

5) Cyrix 586-100 Mhz, 16MB RAM... that thing is being given away as we speak

6) Palm IIIC, Motorolla 68000 (I think?)

and in the closet somewhere:

Amiga 500, upped to 1MB RAm
Amiga 2000, CPU upgrade, RAM upgrade, 2x40GB Syquest Cartridges + external reader

That's a LOT of different CPUs

Why should they? They made the first, new successful DDR chipset. It's only Gigabyte that had a problem, and they admitted that it was their fault. Not AMD ;p

go in the overclocking forum and check it out, it's in there about 90 times.

but the fastest classic chip was 1Ghz. (first GHz chip ever)

Thats right, im an idiot. My friend has a 1Ghz classic athlon. Runs a wicked Counter-Strike server

I didn't think they made one and then all of the sudden I see a few pop up. Maybe I'm just an idiot.
Did you mean the K62-III, maybe?
Sorry to be picky, this really freaked me out!

HAHAha! LOL, you guys all SUCK!!!!

My Pentium MMX @ 200 Rules the world! (what a little world mine is).

I bought it on a budget from Packard Schmellz (Bell). What a lousy mistake that was. Too bad NEC bought em' out and kept them alive in Europe. Shoulda put them out to pasture.

Duck

That is why I love her so much, she was not afraid of making a mistake (me in this case), and you, stinker, can furt as much as you want, it will not make me feel any worst, I am too far away from yer fat hole...

hehehe


its not too late yet...

See, I knew you are not one of them, hehehehe

(*puke* too by the way)

its not too late yet...

LOL! This guy laughs like a loser, completely oblivious to what kind of an idiot he's made of himself. Oh well thats his problem.

Grizley, could you please define "He laughs like a loser". I'm just curious. Thanks
