haha some of you may remember this lunacy..

http://www.michaelscomputers.com/pressrelease.htm

Saying his 3.4Ghz P4 EE's are outperforming the "AMD ATHLON FX-51 3400+" [thats right...doesnt exist] by "65%" and "40%" more than the G5.

So does that mean that the G5 apparently outperforms the FX-51 (or in fairytale land, the FX-51 3400+) by 25%?

and on the main page,
A few reasons to own the world's finest MX8:

Fastest Processor - Intel's Pentium 4 3400MHz 'E' HT Processor

Sorry AMD...your just not powerful enough!



huh? who the hell is this guy.

i just thought it was kinda funny to see him push the latest products since we all last made fun of him...

That guys has been widely published that hes a fraud. And posts fake and incorrect information... Such as him stating that he is selling computers now with XP SP2 on it. Which isnt even at RC2 yet.

I wish I could remember all of the old details he had on his computers when he got bashed so so so bad. I think it was stuff like "oh im seeling AMD athlox XP 3900's" it was something that false I just cant remember where the links were prolly in old threads

haha i was thinking of that too!

do it! get him to talk about his OPTIMIZATIONS. ask him for documentation on this AMD ATHLON FX-51 3400+ which he claims is a customized optimized proc.

Then post his responses (if any)... is it illegal to do that? hah is ANYTHING illegal on the internet... *sarcasm*


by the way, i too have a mobile 2400+... im only doing 2500mhz or so on 1.9v with an SLK-947u and a YSTech adjustable 80mm fan... whats your voltage at, and what are you benching at?

Hello,

Of course I risk spontaneous combustion coming to this forum.... but heck life is short :)

Glad you guys like the article and video, as some Anandtech editors can tell you, hardware reviews do get kinda boring after a while. Tracking Michael down and filming him was a nice change of pace from my office drudgery.

Anandtech should try to get one of Michael's machines (if they exist), because we sure as hell aren't getting one!
