I traded my rig to go back to what I know. Amd. I am sorry Duvie but I just had to go back. Thanks for all your help and also thanks to thugsrook. Good day gents I am on my way up to 2.0 on a 1600. See ya.
 
All you guys who pick sides like a religion are idiots!!! You know which ones I am talking about....I go with facts and performance...If hammer is the great producer it is though to be then I will likely buy one as well...

I commend tbirdkid for looking past the BS crap of fanboys and trying for himself...
 
All I can say is...go with what ever solution works for you.

I went from Intel to AMD because it made more sense for me. I have really good performance for very little out of pocket costs.
 
I have to echo budarow`s post

here is how I look at it......

xp1600 processor= $59 shipped (newegg)
Epox 8K3A mobo= $55 shipped (newegg refurb)
ATI radeon 8500LE w/3.3 ns chips= $87 (newegg)
256mb PNY PC2100 memory(samsung on samsung) = $28 after rebate (compUSA)
HSF rated for 1700+ but works great up to 2100+ + 5.95 shipped (SVC)
Total= $234.95

where else can you get that much performance for so little money?

just a P4 1.6A will run you ~$150

And besides that, I always pull for the underdog 🙂
 
I use both and love both!!!!! 😉 You fanboys make me so sick I think I'll puke me guts up all over you 😛

Cool dude,can you make it look like the movie The Excorcist😀
 
wait... which one's the dark side? i thought the underdogs were the good guys... so how could they be the dark side? i'm confused now... 😕
 
Well, it use to be, but as of right now, the sith lords are still in hiding. Although the Emperor has just gained emergency power........
As for this whole dark side reference, to all the fanboys, I fart in your general direction.

, hey, everyone picks their own battles right?
 
amd is still offering some very nice cpu's. the 1600 XP's are going for as low as $59 and are known to overclock close to 2 ghz in some cases. For the price fo a P4 1.6 you could get an athlon +mobo.
 
Ok fellas just an update! Since I went back to amd I have ran my 3dmark2k1 score up and over 10k with my radeon. Nothin but love!!! Here is my rig.....

Amd Xp 1600(greenie) running at an xp 2100 rating
Epox 8k3a
Kingmax 256 Pc 2700 DDR 333
Thermaltake Volcano2 w/ 7krpm fan
ATI Radeon 8500le (nice!!!)


Still tweakin!!!
Rock on boyz!!!
