Intel struck a sweet spot

No_Style · Jun 11, 2003, 03:57 PM

I've noticed with the recent Northwood C along with Canterwood/Springdale..A lot more Intel users are popping around.

I highly recommend the ASUS P4P800 Deluxe to any Northwood B or C users. Simply the best MoBo out on the P4 Market today (Bang/Buck Ratio)

Intel will NEVER strike a sweet spot... or has it ever struck one, keep dreaming buddy.....

Huh? I don't get it Tek, is that some sort of inudendo?

No_Style · Jun 12, 2003, 03:45 AM

I have my Intel

I think that will change with AMD 64 chips..

It will be I have 64 Bits AMD

and you will have your 32 Bits Intel

but yes the current OC favour is with intell but I still like my Barton 3200xp + a lot as well

chill it down a tad guys... There is a thread for the Intel vs. AMD theory ... Go use it.

which is a very nice cpu. unfortunatley it costs more & is slower than intels top of the 'sweetspot' line.

Sorry about that Wyre. But I just wanted to give a heads up on what is happening on the Intel side of things. This whole forum seems to be more AMD than Intel

mike2h · Jun 12, 2003, 08:50 PM

good heads up. though does not seem to be appreciated around here. i guess i get overly defensive on the whole amd/intel thing. i just can not stand that 'fanboy' thing about anything. got to look at all the options & make an informed choice- wether you go amd or intel or anything else for that matter.
i think the p4c line has a very good price/performance ratio. especially with that p4p800 dx! my next setup! hopefully should have mb,cpu,ram, in 3-4weeks. i actually was looking at a nforce2 setup until this came out.

I don't have a 2.4C, but if you look at my PCMark2002 score over at the Benching forum

Very nice indeed.
