Also, I found out a way to crash IE. Here's how to do it. When you hit the reply button, quickly go down to the mini-window at the bottom, and CLICK the midle mouse button, then use the scroll feature, and that crashes it for me.

amd's were made to do good on bench marks, but real world (tm) performance doesn't have them skyrocketing anywhere, my friend has a 1.33 ghz athlon, i have a 1 ghz pIII, and he doesn't get anything done faster than i do.

Look, guys! It's a Pentium fanatic! I didn't even know they existed still...let's beat him down into a small puddle of his own internal organs.

If AMDs beat out Pentiums in most standard and realworld application benchmarks...how is the pentium faster? Also, I would like to know the exact units you measure in. You wouldn't dare just...use timing in your head, would you? You're not a machine.

key word there is benchmarks. Are you a machine? would you really notice the extra 200 3d marks, or the extra 200 sisoft memory bandwidth points? They are all imaginary numbers, and I don't care much for systems that use more power, produce more heat, use chipsets that are less stable, and are easy as all hell to break. Now this isn't to say that i dont like amds, i just dont personally use them. Quite to the contrary, when people ask me to build them computers, i always put together an amd box, because yes, it is a better value for your money, and yes, you would be a complete moron to spend 200% more to get a p4. I just like the uptime and rock solid stability of a pIII on a 815 chipset.
