i know this flies in the face of the teachings of our wonderful intel propagators here, (NOTE TO AMERICANS: that was sarcasm, please dont try to sue), but all their talk of instability is utter bollocks. lets have a look at my system here...
duron 800 @ 1016....uh-oh!! first problems...amd chips are incompatible with a lot of software out there, obviously im only going to be able to run a fraction of the stuff i want to. whats more, amd chips suffer massive heat problems, at this speed, my chip will probably be a small pool of silicon on the bottom of my case very soon
abit kt7: it just gets worse...im using a via chipset. since via chipsets are incredibly unreliable, unexplained crashes, system lockups and hardware conflicts will be the norm.
win98se: the final straw, im using a win9x based OS, as any UFie or /.er worth his salt knows, using windows not only means your computer crashes every 5 minutes, but your testicles also shrivel up and do small robert deniro impressions before stealing your car. true story.
all this added up and its obvious that my system should be about as stable as a drunk man at trampoline world.lets have a look at my current uptime here, courtesy of IRC...
3 wk(s), 2 day(s), 8 hr(s), 34 min(s), 5 sec(s)
and this on my only machine....in this time i have constantly served a network of 4 computers, ran seti@home 24 hrs a day, installed and played many games....d/led and ran sciencemark, installed a usb camera, (not mine, just testing it for a friend), d/led all sorts of stuff, listened to countless mp3's. played more games. ive run all sorts of apps. i only shut down the computer when i need to screw round with some hardware.
but of course i'll have heat problems right?? right??? well right now its high summer down here in new zealand...its 30 degrees celsius outside and its FSCKING HOT.....my chip temp?? 46 degrees...its usually not quite that hot, but the ambient temp...yeah. its gonna be frosty in winter
i have no idea what all the intel dickheads are talking about. amd isnt the problem, via isnt the problem, your moronic self is the problem. my girlfriend put together a duron 700 system, non o/c
, she'd never even seen the inside of a computer before. i sat there and told her what to do, but i didnt once touch anything, she put it all together herself. she put the heatsink on the chip and everything. the system runs perfectly (of course) and no heat problems at all. if you cant put an amd system together then you dont deserve the higher cost/performance ratio you get from going amd.
