Ignore FUGGER just like the rest of us do. You're gonna notice a pretty big difference. I went from a P2 450 to a 1.4 Ghz athlon myself, and it was well worth the money. Don't worry, you'll be happy with your purchase.
That oughta void your warrenty!

Definately. I went from a P2 333MHz to a 750MHz Athlon and noticed a huge difference. Now I'm at 1.5GHz Athlon, and the difference is EXTREMELY noticable (I still have the 333MHz lying around).

Actually, EXTREMELY is an understatement. It's more like <b>AWESOME</b> for the first couple of days...then you'll get use to it and start having thoughts of overclocking.
As far as FUGGER goes, don't take him seriously...no one else does. You might say he's one of the resident clowns.

definately. games run smooth, intensive apps run smooth.
i can run baldurs gate 2 in full screen 1024x768 glory without any jeryness.
on my p2-300 it absolutely chugged. a big processor hog it is.
high quality mp3 encoding takes under a minute per song
general loading/defragging/ripping is far more efficient due to the new ata100 drive & interface.
note though, the hard drive is often the bottleneck, so get a good fast one. 7200rpm ata100 is a must.
my main problems have been a shoddy construction job thanx to the ultra cheap company i used, a buggy driver revision care of the Via company, and wrestling with Microshaft, Windoze 2000, IndirectX 8 and the detonated drivers
bout normal for a new beast & operating system.

LOL! so true, "off" to cool off! 🙂 hehehe.

I can just picture some of you lemmings with the case open, staring at the motherboard clueless to what the problem is.
Every few seconds adjusting the angle, fiddling with the HSF wondering if you should upgrade or reseat it. A few more presses to the cables making sure they are seated. and a quick prayer before firing up again.
Yep, problem still there. power down and repeat step 1 again.

You must be a numnut. I never had any of those problems with AMD even with a K6-2s. Right now I am rebuilding a system where the Intel CPU burnt up. LOL, a slot 1, 500mhz PIII, toasted. Anyways he is getting a Athlon setup by me which will be more powerful then what he had before. My T-Bird setup has been running for months without any problems so get lost with your false information. Oh yea, have a good night and hope to see ya tomorrow, cheer up, Northwood is on its way.

<sarcasm>
Obviously I've been powering off a lot in the past 12 days.
I can just picture FUGGER with the browser open, staring at the jpeg clueless as to how to build a computer.
Every few seconds rubbing his eyes, fiddling with the scrollbars and wondering if he should maybe get a clue. A few more clicks on "Refresh" to make sure it's for real. and some quick swearing upon seeing that it is.
Nope, no problem there. Hit "Reply" and make up BS again.
</sarcasm>
You're one pathetic piece of crap. Better luck next time. :lol:

FUGGER, how come none of the AMD users around here have any of the problems you always talk about? If you've had these problems with AMD systems, I wouldn't blame AMD, I'd say they are probably caused by insuficient operator headroom.
That oughta void your warrenty!

OMG, you must be blind or incapable of reading english.
Take a minute and ready a few pages into this forum. Yeah AMD disasters on every page. G1 Kanute for being a lemming!
I doubt anyone burnt a Pentium, let alone a 500Mhz one. that little story was BS indeed.
Grizely, how is that water cooling rig holding up? how many AMD CPU's have you wasted 2 or 3?

Can I ask a serious question, who the hell needs at 1.4ghz AMD or 1.8ghz Intel CPU today. What the hell needs that kind of power? I mean all the games and applications (unless you are running CAD or simulations) don't need that kind of power?
Right, Intel is incapable of doing anything wrong.
Oh, wait...(current) P4 sucks. Hard.
Original P3 1.13 sucked even harder, and they pushed it out the door anyway. I wish the reviewers hadn't caught the major flaws and it had shipped. Then Intel would have a really bad reputation to try and dig themselves out of.
They crippled the original AGP card to show off their AGP spec (although it was still a pretty good card).
They're crippling their P4 DDR chipset to make RDRAM look good (how else do you explain support for only PC1600? They haven't figured out how to do asynchronous memory yet? Chalk one up for Via, I guess.)
Guess Intel isn't perfect, but who of us thought they were?
And hey, let's call noko a liar because a Pentium got burned. That sounds like a good idea.

LMAO, up a whole 12 days. I have machines that have been up for years =) 12 days is not, um impressive. But then again, a AMD uptime exceeding 12 days is very impressive. Grats & Kudos to you.
That cat of the /proc/cpuinfo is a nice touch when added to uptime!
I noticed in that tripod directory you do not have a index.html and directory browsing is turned on. Might want to fix that.
Set us up the bomb!
All your base are belong to us!
IS that you on the right? http://kelledin.tripod.com/scobros.jpg
You live in Alaska?
Lastly, very impressive load average. seems your getting your monies worth =P seems like you do more than click buttons in KDE and Gimp, errr maybe not. maybe just lots of windows open and paroozing THG allot.

No one ever saw the original P3 1.13? Really?
That's strange, because <A HREF="http://www.hardocp.com/articles/intel_stuff/1133mhz/" target="_new">HardOCP</A> did, as well as our good friend <A HREF="http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q3/000801/index.html" target="_new">Tom</A>, as well as others, including AnandTech, SharkyExtrememe, etc.
I'd tell you to find out what you're talking about before posting, but that'd be a waste of time, like usual.
