AMD 2.3GHz processor retard. If you want to have "speed" over quality, go buy a p4. They update their chipsets like once a month.

And I never said I was sure about what someone told me, I was asking what hyperthreading was. READ please.

Yeah because obviously a Pentium 4 can't do anything that an Athlon can. And that's not even talking about those crappy motherboard chipsets. Such horrible performance, man.

AMD 2.3GHz=Pentium 2.0GHz

AMD processors do not use a GHZ number, they use a Performance Ratio rating. Also, they have a name, Athlon (or Duron, K5, K6, etc.)...Just saying AMD followed by 2.3 is not enough information to really know what you are talking about. You could have been talking about the Athlon 64 FX-51 for all I know (though it's 2.2 GHZ). The only feasible upgrade (unless you have a good AMD socket 462 chipset) that I would consider from AMD would be an Athlon 64 3000+ system. The higher clocked P4s perform better than the socket 462 athlons.

And I never said I was sure about what someone told me, I was asking what hyperthreading was. READ please.

You didn't say you were asking what it was. You were telling us what you thought it was, and you were obviously nowhere near correct because you know little about computer hardware.

More like the other way around. Pentiums have to be clocked higher to equal the performance of an Athlon because of the long pipeline of the Pentium 4.

Also, in general, Athlon systems are best for games (especially the AMD64), while Pentium 4s are best for multimedia work (like streaming video, etc)..

AMD ~2.3Ghz = Pentium 2.8 Ghz
:P
I think, in the hierarchy of processors, it's like..

AMD
P4
Celeron
lol

anyways, the flakes are too big... they block out words and stuff... maybe if they were smaller, they might not be as annoying

[Luigi1]

They lag me as well. They also like to cover up things. They also distract my eyes from the actual webpage and make my eyes follow the snow flakes. Which is rather boring.

There's no clear winner. You just have to get the right processor for the kind of work you want to do. Durons are better than ALL celerons by the way.

I am sure you what I am talking about when I say AMD, I know they are Athalon, but do I really want to take the time to say all that?

[ZeLpH_MyStiK]

It shouldnt make that much of a difference, I have a PentiumII 700 and they work fine with me. No lag whatsoever x.x

Yes because it's not clear what processor you are referring to. My point was that AMD makes more than one type of processor and each has a different name.

[marcoR]

nuh uh.


if you want to know just right click on "my computer" and go to properties, it should say there. orrr... if you have the sticker on the front *points to his computer* then you shouldn't have a problem =)

[narkotic]

Okay, let me be specific on lag.

When I have the website, there is no lag at all besides for the graphics moving slow on the screen.

The lag happens when I take the scroll bar on the right -->
Click on it, move it up real fast rapidly. I read through a website very quickly, and it lags down the 'smooth' scrolling.

Am I lieing about my PC specs? Absolutely not. And to think, this is the computer I built well over a year ago

Honestly though, the snowflakes were fine in the game. You can shut them off, no problem. On the website though, they really aren't needed. I'm just glad that I don't have to mess with it on the forums.

Oh, and you guys prolly don't notice the speed difference because of your slow computers

Then there's the argument about what's fastet and what's not.

I was mistaken, the system has a 2.8GHz processor running on it. I have the intel motherboard with the 875p chipset. What that means is my DDR memory is running on two separate channels, each running at 400mhz. The processor is running with an 800MHz FSB. No bottleneck on data speed.

The ATI AIW 9700 Pro features tv-tuner card, 128 mb of DDR memory. A very smooth graphics card (although a bit buggy, the 9800 is better, might get it later).

The Athlon 64 3000+ chip is really where it's at now, but I won't go with them still. Run too hot, and I don't like the mboard support out there. I know that with my intel shiznitch, I'm good for 3 years and I won't have a hastle if anything happens. I used to run all Athlon systems. Athlon 1.333Ghz T-Bird, and also an Athlon XP 2700+ both on Asus motherboards. Both chips burned (even though they had excessive cooling with their cases) and the motherboards were flakey from the day I bought them.

My system lags very little, and it's hardware that's a year old, one step down from top of the line so far. So there be nuthin wrong with my computer, it is that website

[marcoR]

Tell me how to turn them off ingame, or I swear by God I will keel you and everyone you love.

[DarkShadows_Legend]

My computer sucks, but I can have like 15 windows open without crashing.
(kazaa, graal connected, graal offline, rc, another game, AOL or AOHELL, and like 10 browser windows.)

Sometimes you need to clean out all the internet junk saved on your computer and possibly free up space by deleting unused programs that you most likely will never use again, but don't blame me if you delete the wrong thing.

[superb]

I keep hearing this argument about AMD chips running too hot. I've never had this problem and I don't think it's the fault of AMD. I still think it's user error related.

Motherboards are always flaky at first...That's why you wait for a few PCB revisions before you go out and buy them.
