I just got my NForce2 and XP2500+ Barton and sold my P4 2.4 @ 3.0 cause I'm an AMD fanboi... 🙂 I love my new setup..

All "fanboiness" aside... how do the two compare in your opinion?

in all honesty the Athlon feels faster even at stock speeds... UT2003 runs better now than it did with the P4 for some reason, but my 3dmark scores went down (big whoop)... in all reality the scores are probably accurate as my clock speed went down 1.2 Ghz 😉 from 3.0 to 1.83 of the Barton 2500+ but I really think the extra cache and 166 FSB help this chip be very fast indeed... I am sure the CAS2 dual DDR setup helps alot too.. 😀 I am happy with it!!

I posted this in another thread, but it fits here too! I decided to "stress" my computer, curious about the hyper threading - 3 Quake III Games open, and that 3d goldfish screensaver running behind them! 1600x1200 desktop res (I shrunk the pic a bit)
The CPU wasnt even peged, and the darn system was doing other things like I wasnt even playing a game, let alone 3. Granted the FPS isnt that great on each game but I am sure I am hitting the limit on my GF4 heh 🙂

3DMark scores went down???? NNOOOOOOOO!!!!! LOL... quick, run it in 640x480 so your scores go back up =)

Gah! Hello, been lurking here for a while, thought I would start posting. I just got a 3.0 Ghz P4, with Canterwood, and 2 Wd Raptor drives that I have running in a RAID 0 - Windows XP installed in 8 MINUTES!!!!
Yay! CPU running temp is about 39c, not to bad either!
🙂
