That is no misinformation but an opinion. And you do not have a right to unrightfully trash any opinion.

I wasn't basing it on his opinion. Actually he even said "That is fact" as he stated some stuff.

It's more of both, Fez.
It's fact that Pentium 4s are faster, so AMD isn't "the best of the best", for example.

Found this recently on a news website... It might be interesting.

quote:

21.7.2002 - Reuters, STT

Celebrity tells the secret about his PC's.

The worldwide know Apolytoner, Rasbelin,
has today revealed in front of the cameras
on an extra international press conference
close to his home at a local pub called O'Connell's,
that he denies any allegations of using cheap
and poorly assembled Dell PC's, but instead
uses Rasbey PC's that are made by one of the
world's least sold PC brands, but it's still famous
for the extra high quality and neardy outlook.
Rasbelin didn't reveal how one can get a
Rasbey PC, but he told some selected
(read: well bribed and mutilated) journalists
that he's a close friend of the manufacturer.

Do they always define rhetoric as statements backed up as facts in Argentina, or did something get lost in the translation?

Fez and Asher, calm down! You don't belong here, if you just act as 3 year old kids. IMHO. Why not read the news bulletin just posted, and remain quiet about that argue?

Really, Fez, I can replace Argentine with Spainard and it has the same effect.

Your argue is really more than personal, it has nothing to do with nationalities or racial questions or ethics. Finns don't hate Argentines, Spanish or Canadians (not at least me, know one personally in the real world). And AFAIK the Spanish and the Canadians aren't enemies in a psychologic way. So solve the problem like gentlemen (yes, your diapers stink sh-t), appologise and explain why you think this began. And then nicely move to other posts for a while.

No. What are you expecting? A relationship... you won't get one out of me... even if I were you know, I would find somebody who shows a bit more respect.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I used to build all my own desktops but it started to become a hassle configuring every then to run with windows. XP and NT can be so picky about hardware. Last year I but an HP laptop and it was so nice to have everything working perfectly right out of the box with all the software already included. I doubt I'll ever build a system again.

I was looking for your correction. And yes, as I said, I do not totally understand it all. But I do guarantee you that running XP my AMD is faster even though its numbers are smaller. And yes that includes the same RAM, approximate video and sound cards. So the only thing I am left to judge on is the processor difference.

Not to mention that even if the Pentium is slightly faster, it is more expensive and for me pound for the buck is very important. So I will stick with AMD.

Fez: Asher is right. Pentiums are better than Athalons. There is a reason they cost so much. AMDs can do games well, but Pentiums can do everything well. The only place where they are just about equal is on games.
