"I just like amd better"

[tart666]

via / citrix forever!

they knew about the impending power doom for years (still didn't get them anywhere tho ... )

well, as funny as it seems, i dont have any grudge against intel. i just like amd better because of basically wut everyone else says: price, performance, potential, overclockability, etc. i mean, if i were to build a system, it'd be amd, but still, i wouldnt mind intel. as of now, amd performance ownz intel, so its amd forever.

Don't count out Via yet. They have the right idea and it might pay off down the road for them.

I like AMD better because I don't like Intel and there isn?t anyone else to choose from

My dislike for Intel comes from the time when they changed sockets and chipsets more often then I changed undies and also at that time their stuff cost a whole lotta greenbacks.

Intel's commercials which always stretch the truth to no end (We make the Internet faster comes to mind ) doesn't help any. They always seem to be shoving tech that no one wants (BTX - CPU IDs) down our throats.

There is Via. It's cheaper than AMD, uses lot less power, and runs cooler. It's slower but if you're just browsing web and emailing it's plenty powerful.

Very true, but with less processing power then my TiVo I'll pass

Agreed. Intel fanboys can't dispute this point.

I'd 2nd that. lol

pffffft...NEC Fan Boy!

I'm with oldfart on this.

Hey! At least I didn't mention Chinon, Mitsumi, or Mitsubishi... but I will mention Alps and Y-E data!

NEC still rules them all though.

(The One True Silent Floppy Drive, to Rule Them All - seriously, Tolkien was an NEC fan too. )

Edit:

The dark wizard floppy drive is named Citizen though. Through various mystical incantations and hardware hacks, it is told, they can perform at 4X the speed of any mere mortal floppy drive, when attached to a proper 2Mbit/s floppy controller chip. (Seriously, I was told this by someone looking to buy a Citizen floppy drive to overclock it. Has anyone else heard/tried this? It sounded rather curious to me.)

I don't like AMD better per say. I just can't afford Intel CPUs, plain and simple. As well, I use my system for general usage applications and gaming. AMD's CPUs do just fine in this area in terms of performance.

Just my sentiments. I wanted bad a Pentium II 400 when it was launched, but all I could muster was a K6-2. Now, I am owner of a Duron processor.
On the other hand, I miss my DDR memory for the Duron processor (as I have now SDRAM). It was a HUUGE perfomance improvement

I prefer AMD for same reasons of price per performance. We do need both amd and intel around. It will keep prices down due to competition. Long ago intel had to severly drops it price once amd came out with strong products.

 

[Maximilian]

Intel will rule the world with microsoft!! then you will all be sorry for not liking their products

 

[Zebo]

So why do people like Intel over AMD?

I have my thoeries which don't bode as well as for the AMD's "price/performance" or "cheapskets" crowd so I won't say it. Also it's just speculation so pretty meaningless. So why come?
