Re: Calling Pc Nerds...Need advice on new system
Jesus I didnt say it was the best, its jsut a common as hell chip and they are pretty reliable and dont blow up easy. hard to break like a D16 and yet still not Winning any races with 90whp.
Most PC's I work on dont have the lastest and greatest so for someone like me I see P4's all day. The occasionaly P3 or Duo core but for the average dude a 3-4 year old pc with p4 is as common as dirt.
So i still stand by the comment, P4's are stout and OC decently, and I've seen AMD's stock Smoke because the thermal paste wasnt enough. granted teh guy was an assclown, how do you ---- up thermal paste but still it shouldnt cook the damn thing.
lol @ p4 worst chip evar.

If you want budget AMD is the way to go. Both my server and my home theater PC are AMD systems and work great. One runs Vista and the other runs server 2008 (basically Vista) and I have had no major problems.

Re: Calling Pc Nerds...Need advice on new system
To be honest I don't know much about either but I gave my buddy who knows quite a bit $600 a few months ago, told him to build me the best bang for the buck system that will last a while (the usual ----) and be upgradable and he chose a
amd athlon 64 x2 dual core proccesor 5000+ 2.6GHz. Now again I have no idea what all this ---- means, but when I was buying everything on newegg, it was the best selling processor at the time for what it's worth
