damn X2's are tappin Intel's ass in the dual core market too.... pity...

in the AMD enchanced benchmarks? How convienent....about as useless as a ATI vs NVIDIA comparison now. It's all good though cause AMD still can't engineer a 64 bit processor while Intel's 64 bit processor has been out how many years? What year did that come out? Oh yeah, 2001.

lol yeah the itanium... the little processor that could. who the hell used itanium? oh yeah thats right... nobody. Could you go out and buy a new PC w/ an itanium in it? no. can you go out and buy a PC with an A64 in it? yes. end of story

Well, I see how that makes sense if you buy your computer at Walmart...

no, no, you cant even find a motherboard for itanium now-adays... only one or two every once and a while. the only way to get an itanium comp was thru HP before they merged w/ compaq, and compaq, in all their godly wisdom, dropped it so they could save money, cause they had all these itaniums and nobody wanted them.

oh yeah and i got to use a 3.8 Ghz 'Extreme Edition' equiped comp the other day... man that's a $1000+ proc and my AMD comp is more responsive. Intel equipped PC's are about as responsive as a corpse that's been in the water too long.

no really.

I have a AMD 2500+ barton, and my bro has an Intel 2.4Ghz Northwood proc. guess who's computer can handel BF series, COD, COD:UO, and COD2 w/ no probs whatsoever (120+ FPS (game limit) on COD's, and i forget BF FPS scores). I would seriously upgrade the graphics card and stick with the same proc but my motherboard has AGP ... so i guess im gonna be forced to get A64.... too bad.
