With the newer AMD64's AMD kicks mayor butt in almost all apps, not only games, specially with their two X2's. I currently have 2 amd64's and 2 P4's but the P4's are kinda old and I have no plans in buying an Intel furthermore.

Pentium's are hot, expensive, low performing, etc. No reason to buy one of them.

I would recommend a AMD64, preferrable San Diego, Venice or an X2 if you're interested in a new CPU.

Intel will be coming out with new chips that address the heat issues. They will be merging the technology from the PentiumM series.

I've been using AMD chips since the K6 days, and every single one has performed great (including this Athlon XP 1800+) :)

i think it depends on your political standing. if you are to the left, you like AMDs because you are a rebel. if you like intel, you are on the right, because you dont like to try new things and stay with the 'mainstream' like all the big box OEMs do.

This sounds like lots of Linux users.

This sounds like typical Windows users.

I don't know though, do more Linux users use AMDs?

My 1700,Radeon 9600,768 MB PC2100 gets an average of 25 FPS on Farcry. It isn't bad but not good either. It boots WinXP SP2 in about 28-32 sec INCLUDING logging on. It boots Suse 9.1 in about 1 minute and 30 sec. Linux is on a sucky 6 GB ATA33 HD too

I'm glad I use Windows 2000, since it doesn't take long to boot at all, it boots faster than Slackware at least, but I don't really care much about that since I use Linux mostly anyway.

A radeon 9600 is probably on par with a FX 5700.

 
Here are my system specs.
 
AMD Athlon XP 1700+
Soyo SY-K7ADA V1.0 w/4X AGP
80 GB Seagate Baracuda (UDMA 5) (Win)
6 GB WD (ATA33) (Linux)
Saphire Radeon 9600 4x/8x AGP
Creative Sound Blaster Live!
550 Watt PSU
Do to stability problems i can only run the Radeon 9600 on 2x Mode. When i turn my AGP speed up tp 4xmode my PC gets about 35 FPS on farcry than it locks up and crashes.

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.
