A guy at school always amuses (and sometimes erritates) me. First of all he is a 110% fanatical Intel zealot. I've shown him pages upon pages of benchmarks that clearly show AMD processors competing with and exceeding Intel ones. I don't care what type of CPU someone uses but he refuses to admit that AMD can compete with Intel. He always talks about how AMD CPUs are inferior to Intel ones.
Here's the other thing. He recently put together a new computer. It's a dual 1GHz PIII, 512MB PC133, huge HD, etc. He then starts bragging about howmuch better his system is than mine. After he read all the specs I asked him if he was running Win2K or NT. And he said "nope, Windows ME". I stood there trying not to laugh out loud. I said "uhm, you know that ME doesn't support SMP right?" He said "yeah it does".
We went on about this for a while but I didn't feel like an argument so I just walked away. I just don't know how some people can be so misinformed. So how about you guys?
EDIT: He also told me he was running a system with two AGP video cards. A Rage Fury and a Matrox G200. I haven't seen a dual AGP board. Have you?
