I dont know why gamers think intels cpus are better. AMD owns intel and
will for a while I would know my dad is a network administrator
at INTEL and he perfers AMD most of the guys there he says own AMD and
say they are at intel for the money. Intels new cpus over heat so the
cpu has to throttle it self back so the new intel chips dont run at
full power all the time.
The heating problem is mainly with the Prescott core, which is definitely a bit of a joke. Stick to the northwood cores, they give you equivalent performance for cheaper. Plus the P4Cs are an overclocker's dream. And SpeedStep has been announced so recently I don't think anyone clearly knows what it's about. All I have heard is that it's used on the Prescott 2M cores. I doubt it has been placed in production yet
I'm sick of hearing this crap that "AMD is better!!!" or even the occasional "Intel OWNS YER MUTHA". Each processor has it's advantages and disadvantages. Stop screaming about why you're choice is better. The AthlonXPs and the Pentium4s have been performing equivalently for a long time now. The only clear differences I can see is that hardware for the AthlonXP is slightly cheaper to come by, so it's the best choice for any frequent upgrader (usually gamers).
(Oh, and this wasn't aimed at anyone in particular)

Quiet fools! More talk on this 64bit windows... One question I'm
sure Crono can answer... Xbox is 128bit... So was PS2. Why are PC's so
behind the times?
I thought the XBOX uses a 128 bit GPU only. The processor is 32bit (P3/733MHz). I think the GF4 Ti series and up (except for the FX5200) also come with a 128bit bus
. Thanks Loco for the link.
