Wow, Tool and Fool, such cool words to be used by such a cool person, dang you're awesome! It doesn't really matter if an Intel CPU can "tolerate more heat" (not that something not living can "tolerate" anything) because an AMD CPU (even at a nice 3GHz) will not get above 50c Full Load (even on stock cooling). And I keep tellin' you Intel dudes, I aint no AMD fanboy. Just because it smells like a duck, tastes like a duck, and looks like a duck, doesn't mean it can't be a T-Rex.

Not to involve myself in the argument, but I felt I had to contradict your statement "because an AMD CPU (even at a nice 3GHz) will not get above 50c Full Load".
I might not have an Athlon 64 3200+ but I do have an Athlon XP 3200+ Barton model and that sucker pushes 60-70C during games even with a powerful house fan blowing in the case with the panel off.
Why do i doubt that Opteron actually reached 6ghz? thats more then double the stock, not even intels can do that (pentium m 1.6 -> 3.16 closest iv seen, but not over double) not even prescotts can do that with there 30+ BS stages.
You think that because you're an Intel Fanboy. Stand Back! There's A Fanboy Comin' Through! *Music Starts*

I noticed this is your first post...and the THG community could have done without you joining...enough said. Obviously you haven't read my posts where there are FACTS...oh wait...every one of my posts are FACTS...must mean you never read any...Fanboyism != FACTS, as much as people wish it did.
BTW: It is spelled "epitOmize"

No, according to several sites (Xbit, Anand, Intel, etc.) you don't. And big woop, it overclocks, stop the press! As I said before, overclocking potential doesn't negate power potential. Just because you can have a 5GHz Cedar Mill doesn't mean it will beat a 3GHz A64. And if it does, you're still gonna heat up your house and burn the chip in the process. It's not worth it over an A64, and from your sig, you already at a 2.8 Venice, how much more freakin' power do you need? Don't be a damn fool and waste money.

fcuk you just cause we question AMD doesnt mean were intel fanboys, YOUR THE FANBOYS!
Sad to say Intels raw clock speed does get some decent performance and AMD can overclock too and reach it most of the time but now 65nm P4s are here taking on 90nm AMDs they will get beaten, its always going to happen - its a leapfrog game.
Now please stop this god dam war - both companies offer great processors, if it wasnt for EITHER company we wouldnt be here with such fast processors!!! BUY WHATS FASTEST AT THE TIME OR WHAT BEST SUITS YOUR NEEDS OR BUDGET NOT A GOD DAM FCUKING BRAND!!!!!!!!!!
Peace
Never said I was "speaking for the community", but saying that I believe we would all be better without another possible Intel Fanboy or un-informed newbie posting crap.

chill everyone
madmodmike - i aint smooth im stuck with a crappy intel that wont overclock, but i do have a gf
illicitsc - yeah no personal insults
dvdpiddy - are you on amds payroll? seriously no one here is.
apache guess what you suck ignore yay
ah well cant convert a hardend fanboys, its rather entartaining anyhow.
