I like AMD but if I also say something nice about Intel, a bunch of AMD @rseholes say I’m stupid. Intel lovers never get on me about anything positive I say about AMD. Intel lovers only defend against negative comments about Intel. AMD butt munches run around ripping Intel for no good reason. Sure Intel has problems. The FPU problem, The p3 1.13 piece of junk, p4 not running today’s software up to snuff, less than above board bedding down with Rambus, etc. But AMD has issues too. The lack of thermal protection, power consumption, lack of SSE2 on current chips, etc. My eyes are open! I see both sides! AMD users open your eyes!

I fry AMD chips like KFC fries chicken and I keep buying new ones. I am stupid. I am a newbie. Amd should have thermal protection. Thank you.
If at first you don't succede, skydiving isn't for you.

>> Intel lovers never get on me about anything positive I say about AMD
I hate getting in the Intel/AMD wars, and I think I've managed to stay on the civil side in all my posts. But that statement is laughable. I've been slammed when i said something good about Intel and I've been slammed when I said something good about AMD... Both "sides" have fans, and both sides have fanatics & nuts (and then there are the neutrals who go with whoever has the best chip at the moment with no special long-term allegiances). You can't and shouldn't generalize either way about people, just like you can't generalize about companies...
As the french say "vive la differance', each to thier own, I use intel processors, but I like AMD, next one I build later this year will be a Athlon, I have many friends who have Athlons, and none of them have any trouble with them, IBM use the 1G Athlon in the 94a sys, and they dont overheat, so the overheating obviously isnt a insurmountable problem
finally! the voice of reason!

You may very well have taken crap from people in both camps but I have not. I consider myself to have no long-term alliance but AMD users have me sounding like an Intel fan because some of them are so biased that I can’t help but to take up for the other side. I have been trying to get people to buy AMD since Athlon but now there is an alternative. If you read my post I say more bad things about Intel than AMD but the crazed mob of AMD fans cannot see this.
Of course not every AMD user is a butt munch but I have taken crap from AMD fans and none from Intel fans.
How can anyone defend the lack of thermal protection when it is so obvious that having protection is better then not? In your house would you let an electrician replace your fuses with coins or your circuit breakers with jumpers? I have never had a circuit breaker trip in my house, does that mean I’m a fool for having circuit protection? Maybe it is no big deal to you, if not fine run with no protection. Intel’s FPU scandal was no big deal, it had errors out past the 10th decimal place so what. You needed to be a Rocket Scientist in order to even notice the problem and Intel eventually stood behind their chips and replaced them anyway.
People with a lot of experience are going to make their own choices no matter what others say but true beginners have a right to hear the truth about both companies. If AMD fans said “AMD is the best for the money just make sure you put the heat sink on correctly” I would have no problem with that but instead they say “Intel inside=Idiot outside”. I’m I an Idiot because I make enough to be able to afford the newest processor?
When I happily posted that p4 prices were way down and I bought one someone said: “Thats one bad ****ing deal man…. I could make a complete Athlon 1GHz system that would whip it's ass for half the price. *Poor you”. Well I offered to buy the said AMD system but somehow haven’t got pricing from the AMD fan yet. Also why poor me? Obviously I am not poor if I am buying something that is a bad deal. Poor me for having to put up with all this AMD hugger crap. Hell even Amdmeltdown admits Intel stuff has problems why can’t AMD owners fess up to theirs?
My apologies to the silent majority of AMD users who are not responsible for the actions of their overly vocal counterparts. The post just wouldn’t have been the same if it read “AMD doesn’t suck, some of the AMD users who have pissed me off at various times do”.
"I’m I an Idiot because I make enough to be able to afford the newest processor?"
No you definitely are not. Maybe I should put it this way.
A man wants to purchase a car. There are two makes that the man likes very much the P and the A. The P has been around for longer, costs more, performance is at the same level if not less than the A but the P has a nifty feature it has abs brakes, the A does not. The A car is much cheaper than the P and performs as good or better but it does not have those nifty abs brakes. Which car does the man go for?
Well if the man sees a need for the special feature than he will go for the P car(an informed/intelligent purchase) . If he sees no need for the special feature and still goes for the P because of it's brand name than we call him a sucker(when all other car attributes are constant). The only logical and common sense purchase would be Car A if he does not need that feature (whether one is wealthy or not).
If he goes for car A and then knowingly takes his car out on a night when there is clear need for ABS brakes and gets himself killed then we call him an idiot.
Things should read like this:
Intel inside = Sucker outside(only under special cases-as the above example shows).
And Crispy athlon inside = idiot outside
If you've actually been reading posts around here instead of making figurative guesses you'd see that the exact opposite of what you said is happening. So start reading, brother!
Guess what i own a K6-2 300 and celeron 533
i like them both
now who is the pig head now! what what i didnt hear you!
Cel 533 - 256mb sdram
15gb HD - ati radeon 32mb ddr (200/200)
SB live! mp3+ - win98 Beos
Wow, I guess you have never read a thread by AMDMeltdown.
Apology accepted.
BTW did I mention that I HATE VIA? I have a mole working in wusy's terrorist organization to incorperate blowing up VIA in their plan to infiltrate the computer industry and take over Eastern Europe!
Suicide is painless...........
ALI is back, I'd rather give them a chance.
Suicide is painless...........
ALI should produce a high performance chipset UNLIKE VIA in that it should keep ALI's advantages in compatability and reliability.
Suicide is painless...........
ALI sucks
ALi would be better if they had better support.
I don't like the the way you bunch all AMD users together, I am an AMD user and I care not who makes my cpu as long as it is the right CPU for what I want I get ragged by Intel fans for saying anything bad about them, but I think you can safely say the people who are the arseholes are the ones who follow the Name/Brand rather than the product on it's merits.... that goes for any hardware not just CPU's.....

Right now is the perfect time to buy a computer. Prices are at an all time low (128MB of sdram for like $50!!!!!!!!!!)
"Too bad I can't get rid of my P-III500 right now cuz I have NO MONEY!!!"
Have you ever heard of findind a job to earn some money?
Or if you are still too young you could get a part-time job!
You don´t have money because you don´t want it, so STOP WHINNING!

Lordwhatever your name is, you are in need of some serious counciling. Dude I have read some of your posts and there is no coherence what-so-ever. [-peep-] why am I even writing this you probably won't understand it anyway.LOL
Yeah?
Based on what you say that?
"I´m Going Down!...Down!Down!Down!Down!Down!" - Joe Satriani in G3 Live
Have you read some of the posts that you have written? They don't say anything and you are usually having a conversation with yourself. For example read your earlier post in this thread. What the hell is that all about? How many people do you have swimming up there in your head?
I mean to each his own, better to post absolute nonsense than to post misinformation or a skewed point of view(ya that is directed tword you MeltDown).
I hope posting nonsense helps you with your therapy.
Well, excuse me for telling a guy that doesn´t have money to upgrade his computer to get a job and earn some!
You probably are a guy who just needs to ask his parents for it or who´s rich!
Get a life!
And what aren´t they saying ?
I´m comenting on other people´s messages! Or making a joke of it!
Again! Get a life!
You´re the one who needs therapy!

Oh, I am sorry did I piss you off. I have a nasty habit of doing that to people on forums for some reason. I think it's because I make an obvious observation of an error or odd behavior they have made and comment on it.
It seems that people don't like there errors or odd behavior pointed out to them. Gives them the willies or something.
"And what aren´t they saying ?
I´m comenting on other people´s messages! Or making a joke of it!"
Just for clarification are you asking me or are you answering yourself again?
AHAHHAHHA
I am asking you: "And what aren´t they saying ?"
Amd "I´m comenting on other people´s messages! Or making a joke of it!" is answering to you in :" Have you read some of the posts that you have written? They don't say anything and you are usually having a conversation with yourself. For example read your earlier post in this thread. What the hell is that all about? How many people do you have swimming up there in your head?"
Is this clear enogh or do you need more ?
Dumass! You should be back in school if you can´t read!

I am afraid of Lord Kaos
There, I said it.
There is no reason to fear Lord whatever. There are public programs that help people. I think medi-care pays for the first several sessions of counciling?
Wont lower myself to your level and answer your crap!

I disagree with you dude! In the "Toms Comunity" AMD fanatics usually know something about CPU's , (at least about AMD CPU's), But Intel fanatics (anti AMDsts) usually know zip about what they are talking even if it is about Intel, and just make flames, and post b/s.
=My 2 Cents to this lame topic=
All i can offer you is the truth. Nothing more.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by mordy on 02/02/01 09:46 AM.</EM></FONT></P>
Therefore AMD fanatics obviously know more and have a better background in which to make a descision; AMD or Intel.

I hate intel
not true!...I find that most pro-amd ppl here in this forum are not to bright at all!
this are just my personal opinion, and observations.
Your observations are obviously lopsided. If you'd get your head out of your ass you'd be able to see what's going on.
----------------------
I hate intel
well, if you quit talking out of your ass maybe you can fill lakedudes order!
you probably can't even fill a small hole bro, you said it yourself you have small one!
talk is cheap...dude, but it looks like you're just talking sh*t.
put up or shut up!!!
Boy that's about the best comeback I've ever heard.
I've already said why I couldn't fill lakedude's order. Just another example of how stupid you are.
----------------------
I don't hate Intel............ Do I?
that must be your $0.02 rebuttal, like I said talk is cheap!
whoa, you're really starting to look like your handle, and with those excuses...,
...you're really sounding like a fool,...fool!
I would have thought you would be smart enough to know when to stop posting. All you're doing is making a further idiot of yourself by trying to make me feel bad by your K-Mark comebacks.
(Talk all you want, but it won't change the fact that you're 13.)

I don't hate Intel............ Do I?
I guess he finally took my advice and stopped posting here.
