you go girl! 
well if luck is a lady, it explains why i have no luck 
This thing is quite hard for AMD`s position in germany...
First there was this fake video where THG burned AMD CPU`s while knowing that the mobo has no thermal protection function... and now... THIS [-peep-] comment of Mr.Völkel 
Could that be on an "independent" hardware test site? NO
On an intel related Site? YES
Therefore: I am waiting for an official excuse for that comment in the german article!!!

you know that saying,sorry it's not the same when you can't see me swiveling my head and snapping my fingers while doing it.

I don`t wanted you to say sorry 
I am forcing that the german articel is "re- printed" !!!
SPAM LIKE YOU WANT TO SPAM =)

Tom rarely actualy writes the articles. Different people have different oppinions about the CPUs, because at times, performance is close, and they both have some strong points. If you have a problem with the objectivity, then talk about the actual writer.

Hey,
I didn`t post this topic to say: Tom is an unserious hardware tester...
THG GERMANY should translate us-english articles correct and must not give articles a pro-Intel "taste" if the original article is objective! (or somelike says that AMD is better in performance... nothing else
In the german forum of THG (I am german) all users are believing that things and believe that AMD has no stabile CPU`s. They say that that is the thing AMD has to give up competition against Intel and that Intel is great and so on...
The stability probs of CPU`s made by AMD is fixed sins the generation of 386x CPU`s <-- I know that!
This is making me sad... and angry... :|
The author (or translater) of the article is Frank Völkel and THIS POSTING is against >his manipulation of objective hardware testing< !!! NOT against Tom himself...
Tom is german and I hope he could manage this fault of the german THG! If you think that posting topics in this forum couldn`t help against this misere then I will logout and play Aquanox... (a very great underwater-shoot-`em-up) made in germany...
btw: The game performes best with an AMD Athlon XP 1900+

Well he does have a point AMD has discontinued all of their chipset manufacturing so in theory if they cant get a hold of these shabby motherboard manufactures and tell them how the shits supposed to be then it is there fault. Need a good chipset to run a good CPU that’s why I am a 440 man till my Tully comes in.

Correct. It's the translator/Origional writer.
Here's a question, was the article origionaly written in German or English? That might clue you in more about where the hardware people were leaning towards. If it was in german first, then the translator might have toned it down a bit. If it was written in english, the translator might have had something against AMD.
Ultimately, the proof that I find that AMD is stable is not in what a reviewer says, but in what I find, and other real people find. My old PII system was moderately stable. My father's PIII System was moderately stable. My last Athlon(750 Slot A) was moderately stable, and my current Athlon XP system is the most stable system I've owned.
I get a lot from the reviews on Tom's Hardware. I've found that they usually have done the most background research (Some Geforce TI release reviews I read didn't have the correct clock speed. Some not only had it wrong, but told you how they assumed it was wrong. Others have shown inacurate statements in the PR basis rating.) However, they are not my only resource, nor should anyone take one resource only as fact.
Ultimately, I use the numbers to determine what I want and need. The reviewer's analysis could be bias, but numbers don't lie, especialy if several sites reproduce them.

Don't need one. Plenty of others with AthlonXP's already have. It's kind of telling that the AthlonXP claims the top spot, even at ~700MHz slower than a P4 2500GHz.
Just because you repeat that "AMDs are unstable" over and over again, doesn't make it fact. Otherwise my god box would have crashed sometime in the past several months.

What is your setup then Fugger?

I have never overclocked any Athlon processor I own, and Stability is quite important to me. Also, most overclockers I have seen here will only run on a stable system, one that can run for hours on end with no issues.
However, you are correct in that overclocking will hurt stability, but that is with any chipset.
Overclocking is less than 25% of the Personal PC market, and lies on both sides of the Intel/AMD debate. Your blanket generalization is very unfair Intel.

Interesting. I'm flipping through it now, and it's long and slow, probably due to being archived.
Interesting that he proves his clock speed in the first pic, not the resolution setup. That and how he just happens to round up an extra 150 in the initial post.
Most people in this forum have positive and useful things to say. Fugger seems to need to prove he is superior by blasting people and trying to make them look inferior. If you want to earn respect, express your opinion and knowledge without trying to prove yourself as superior.
