Albert, re: Few weeks back I got the following comparison of athlon vs p4 from a salesperson person trying to sell systems both athlon and intel: 1) athlon systems are slower than either pIII or p4 at the same clock rate 2)most of the athlon system fail within 2 years (the product was not even out for 2 years) and many fail within 6 months 3)athlon is not compatible with x86 standards and then he added that it can not even use rambus memory 4)and when compared on value basis (I asked for that one) I would only get my $$$ worth if I buy intel system I thought you were going to say: 5) I shot him dead on the spot. LOL... John

albert: "many (most if not all) would disagree but the bigger problem is the "experts". I do not view discrepancy in MHz as a problem at all. Few weeks back I got the following comparison of athlon vs p4 from a salesperson person trying to sell systems both athlon and intel: 1) athlon systems are slower than either pIII or p4 at the same clock rate 2)most of the athlon system fail within 2 years (the product was not even out for 2 years) and many fail within 6 months 3)athlon is not compatible with x86 standards and then he added that it can not even use rambus memory 4)and when compared on value basis (I asked for that one) I would only get my $$$ worth if I buy intel system here you have a real problem." Sounds like Paul has found a new vocation to while away his suspension!
