The K6-2 was a superb CPU for it's time and price.
"JAD" wrote in message ink.net... no no no fisherman troll somewhere else.... AMD K62 sucked ass do all AMD's suck because of those? "Bill L" wrote in message ... Well a celery is Intel and the AMD equivalent (Duron) is a better CPU so why shouldn't he say Intel sucks ... it does in this case? BillL "JAD" wrote in message ink.net... you buy a dell then a celery and then claim Intel sucks STFU "Godzilla Pimp" wrote in message hlink.net... I have been building AMD's for a few yrs but made the mistake of buying a Celeron 2.3GHZ 256MB Dell Latitude ($600 new). What a dog! Decoding Naked News at the maximum bitrate in WMP takes 100% of the processor. A T-Bred 1700+ running @2000+ (1.67GHz) uses only 15%. And it feels so slow, even after reformatting and installing WinXP Pro. It feels about like a Duron 750 I have running at 933MHz....but slower. |

It certainly was. From there for me it was celeron ppga to celeron fcpga to
AMD end of story. I have always built on price/performance above all other factors. Rick wrote: The K6-2 was a superb CPU for it's time and price. |

Nothing lame at all, I am sure it would dog down with the small L2, but at 2.5GHZ, it was snappy! |

Hi,
silly name for a post. Clearly INTEL don't suck, but I understand your reasons why you feel the need to prove it to the world. AMD vs INTEL is such an old topic. . . . INTEL= Nice + Better quality chipset support AMD=Nice + slightly better value for MHz hunter You need to get your hands on some good examples, don't judge a whole product range because you had one bad apple (P4 Celeron lol!) -- Wayne ][ Concepts, Theory, Learning Curves, and woman with big bOObs! |

Read a little up on intel chipsets(cpu's).
"Better quality chipset support" in what way? Intel gutted the P4, it's all about ramping core frequency. Putting out a L1 of 8KB is not what I would consider quality support.

Putting out a L1 of 8KB is not what I would consider quality support. Hi, The Intel® chipsets (i.e: motherboards) have a much better Dual-Channel memory controller and a much better SATA-RAID-0 system (ICH5R). CPU wise I like both AMD Athlons and Intel® Pentium® 4. It's a pity AMD can't build a decent chipset for their own CPUs, but luckily for them nVidia came along and gave birth to the nForce2. So to reiterate, in No SHAPE or FORM do Intel® *suck* :P Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but mine is there *Both* good. . .. Peace. . . -- Wayne ][ Concepts, Theory, Learning Curves, and woman with big bOObs! |

I must disagree. I may have misunderstood you. Though not all laptops are
lame. try the alienware Area-51-M the extreme model is better then alot of desktops. PS:I know it has an Intel personally i don't have a big check book so i prefer AMD -- Duck Tape Is Alot Like Star Wars. It Has Both A Dark Side And A Light Side. "BoB" wrote in message ...

It's all about power consumption, heat disipation, size constraints, etc.
