RAMBUS for one. It's absolute bollocks, and a P4 runs like crap on DDR memory.. unless you overclock the little bugger.

I'll post the SiSoft Sandra (as well as a few other benchmarks) scores of my DDR2700 and AthlonXP 2200+ system soon, so you can compare.

The only P4's worth buying are the brand new ones, but they're still as expensive as hell compared to AMD chips.

One of the funniest comments is that only stupid people use Macs. This is pretty amusing, because 70% or so of adult Mac users have college degrees, compared to 42% of Windows users.

The irony of that figure is, 70% of adult mac users are graphics design professionals.

Only further illustrates the fact that Macs sure ARE useful, but if you get one I hope you like editing images because you won't find much else to do with it.

if a p4 runs like crap on ddr memory, then how come my computer gets better memory bandwidth than the amd smp ddr chipset

It runs better on RAMBUS. That in itself is hilarious.

I lost my bookmarks. I'll talk to Tatsukaze00, whose desktop is VERY Macish right now and get back to you ASAP.
