What do you prefer in a PC?

I prefer Intel processors. My current desktop has the following:

Dell Dimension 8250

3.06GHz Pentium 4 w/Hyper-Threading
1GB PC1066 RDRAM
200GB UltraATA HD
128MB ATi Radeon 9700 Pro
SoundMAX Integrated Audio
4x DVD+R+RW/CD-RW Combo Drive
and more...

AMD baby!

you got a powerful machine man!

you better be careful with that thing.

AlienWare says it all for me .... "Yeeaaahhhh Baby!"

Yeah Im very proud of my machine and I like to show it off every chance I get. I build all of my machines myself.

Nice job, Ocelot. You WILL kick the S**T out of any current Pentium PC's. You must be loaded, dude. If I had that $$$, I would build my own. But wait for Intel's 64-bit chip. Pair that w/Windows XP 64-bit and Intel will rock the planet.

Seekerof- No sweat, bud. I know you were playing.

im proud of one thing... my Xitel Hi-fi link. It bypasses my crappy albatron integrated soundcard and reproduces crystal clear audio over my 550 watt Philips home theater system. comes with a unit that eliminates electro magnetic interference. what an ingenious device

LOL!! Im not loaded.... I wish I was . I just work part time fixing machines and setting up networks (Im also a Full time student). The money is pretty good. I've been saving for a couple of months now waiting for the Athlon 64 to come out. Funny thing is that as soon as I build the new on I will probably start saving up for the next one. I change my machine like once a year.

Oh and by the way. Intel wishes they could rock the planet. AMD will kick the Shizznit out of anything Intel throws at it. Wait and see my friend. Wait and see.

Sorry to imply you were loaded. You do good work & you save. Thats awesome work ethic. I think you should get the most out of your machine (a year seems too short). Good job, Ocelot.

Intel v. AMD: Who will come out on top? Let's just sit back & watch. I bet on Intel.

i have one question, why does the AMD XP model line use figures like 2000 and 2500 when the processor speed is nowhere near that? i bought a 2000, checked it out and it was runnin at like 1.4. so i freaked out and overclocked it to the hilt and now its at 1.66. is this false advertising, a trick played on misinformed consumers or just a set of models on a model line which have nothing to do with processor speeds. I'm pissed, but i know AMD are damn good. Next time its a Pentium cause i feel robbed.
