DUDE!!! you are a neffing troll!! Go away!

First off, you're saying a p3/c2 are comparable at the same speed. THEY ARE NOT!!

Secondly, THE duron @ 950 is easily as fast as a P3 @ 950(not to mention costing less). And at that speed, will beat the comparably priced intel chip rather easily.

Anyone want to add more?

Check out his thread in general hardware about how intel "rulez" and via = s3 = suck... his threads are soooo contradictory and $tupid and retarded that i really dont' want to think about it. Most of the time I don't even bother replying unless he's just so damn ignorant that he might effect the good of the board.

Very sorry about what I said.
Just wanted let you know I take it all back
In the future I will keep this to myself, this like telling
the public what you think about certain thing.

 

[Hyper99]

I thought that I'm making myself look bad by reacting violently so decided to refrain from ever doing so again as I read my own post
it isn't very pleasant either and seem to make thing worst.
I'm not a bad person it just that some people are so set on one path that saying something not to their liking they will ignite with flames.
And it funny how I take the blame for it.
I been called troll several time, it misleading and that low enought and we just have to ignore each other I guess.
I suppose if 3 person say I'm bad even thought didn't do anything
bad I'm guilty huh?

 

[Mikewarrior2]

whatever you say, mr "overclocking is useless" $hithead.



Mike

 

[Hyper99]

Ok so your real name is mike huh?
whatever lamer
You are full of *hit
I betcha aint got a life, and you enjoy talking crap
cause that all i see you do

 

[Mikewarrior2]

yeah, you're real brave... um, my information is free for anyone to see... i see that you hide all your info... now who's hte person with something to hide?

Mike

and you, hte person completely made of $hit who claims that overclockers lie about how much they can overclock, how can you claim i'm full of $hit?

Hyper99,

nobody is feeling bad about buying anything.

-If I'm going for a new setup, Thunderbird all the way. It's cheaper and faster than anything Intel has, or I go for a Duron because its so damn cheap, overclocks great, and cost at barely over 100.

-If I have a solid BX board and I'm on a tight budget, I get a Celeron II and overclock it to 100, or for a little more I go for the 600E.

You want to know the difference between the 4 different setups?
NOTHING!!! Because I sure as hell can't feel the difference between 50fps(ever since the 450A with a TNT2) and 999999fps. Websurfing isn't getting any faster without a T3 line, and I'm sure my figures are the limiting factor to how fast Microsoft Words types my document.

So to answer your concern, nobody is regretting anything. Each product has a solid niche in the computer junkie market.

Sorry chief, in that synthetic benchmark, which fits entirely in L1 cache, a 700 mhz Celeron would be equivalent to a 700 mhz PIII -- which AIN'T SO.

Use a real world benchmark (like a game) and you'll see the Celeron gets thrashed by a Duron, an Athlon classic, a thunderbird, and a PIII Coppermine.

 

[goog40]

Only 4-5% faster? This article shows on pretty much all the tests the Duron whips the Celeron handily.
http://www.planethardware.com/reviews/CPUs/Celeron700/
You can't compare a celeron to a PIII. In the CPUMark test, the Duron beats the Celeron by 25%, while the P3 Ghz beats it by 75%. So you're saying a Ghz P3 is 75% faster than a 700mhz?

Hyper99,

After reading through your many posts in this forum, it is clear that your purpose is to inflame. This is trolling. You will cease immediately.

Admin

 

[MadRat]

Thank you, Admin.

 

[DaddyG]

Time for a troll funeral, gasoline and a match anyone ??

 

[KarsinTheHutt]

Wow! This thread is as nasty as the ones on Sharky's forum!

 

[Mikewarrior2]

Well, this guy went off on a Rant about how you really can't overclock, and that overclocking was useless, and how all of us overclocking 200mhz or more were lying about our overclocked speed, adn how our systems were tremendously unstable, yadda yadda yadda. Hyper99 is a fool.

Then yesterday, he goes on blasting VIA as a company as well as every product they make. He's just a buffooon.



Mike

 

[JumpJoe]

This guy also went on how his friend got 62fps in Quake3 800 * 600 off his friends Celeron 500 setup with a S3 Virge 4 meg emachine.

 

[Insane3D]

Yeah, must be all those "years of experience overclocking K6-2's"...
Just wait a little while and he will come back and edit the thread title to say something like "Durons are the best" or something. I guess there is one born every minute....

 

[rigor]

Uh -oh Todays AMD release says duron/thunderbirds are Multiplier locked in Production releases. Asus boards not coming with multiplier override.

BAD NEWS!

Socket-A's officially not able to overclock by multiplier now!

screw that.

 

[Mikewarrior2]

ummm... the Soyo, Abit, Asus, and QDI socket A mb's are all gonna offer multiplier adjustment through the mb... so duron's will be overclockable



Mike

 

[rigor]

Umm thats great, but will they work with the clock locked durons, which are unlike the sample cpu's given to the review forums.

 

[Mikewarrior2]

they're supposed to work on the locked cpu's... like hte one that the insanehardware.com guy has(i believe his is a production "locked" chip).



Mike

 

[bonkers325]

this thread needs to be closed as it is going no where

 

[Hyper99]

I'm not trying to start any flame war, some of you may have took it the wrong way.
If I said VIA is crap, take it with a grain of salt cause I have bad experience with them.
If you like it good for you, but you don't need to flame me for it.
I don't see how I'm a bad person when we have rights to say whatever we dislike or not.
Just because everyone like certain thing doesn't mean you have to too
Is it wrong to be different?
Is is wrong to choose which CPU you like best or not?
