Ban Ban Blow Hard Dan the Monica Man - Re: "The Athlon MP machines substantially outperform anything Intel can produce, and cost less." WRONG !!! "In real world multi-threaded workstation applications, we see a very clear advantage going towards the Pentium 4 Xeon. While the Athlon MP manages to outperform the Xeon in the Microstation test, in Photoshop and Visual C++, the Dual P4 Xeon simply gives incredible performance. As big of a Photoshop geek I am, the scores for the Xeon certainly impressed me. " gamepc.com

Dan, every so often, you seem to lapse into an incredible state of make-believe, where you spout all kinds of misinformation. Just look at the trash that you wrote. Re: "Pentium 1.13GHZ - shipped even though it corrupted data" The Pentium III 1.13GHz ran fine, except for during Linux Compiles. No other test seemed able to reproduce the issue, but the result wasn't corrupted data. The system simply locked up. You are stretching the truth here. Re: "810 motherboards with 3 RIMMS - shipped even though it corrupted data" The i810 never shipped with RDRAM. This one is just a plain lie. Re: "820 motherboards with MTH - shipped even though it corrupted data" I don't know much about the issue, except that the situation was rare, but Intel recalled the part anyway. I don't remember any reports of corrupted data, but maybe you can share a link? Re: "P4 motherboards still fry when certain video cards are installed" And Athlon XP chips fry when the heatsink isn't seated correctly. At least with the Pentium 4, the problem is with video cards that don't conform to spec. With the Athlon XP, it's just shabby engineering on the part of the thermal diode. Re: "Intel's attempt at an 8-way chipset corrupted data - and Compaq had to tell Intel about it" I have no idea what you are talking about here. Intel's only 8-way chipset right now is ProFusion, and there have been zero issues with it. This is clearly another lie from you. Re: "Itanium has some problem - and it was Compaq again that had to point out to Intel that, once again, Intel was shipping crap" There is still no confirmation that it is a CPU problem, though there are many accusations both ways. You are already assuming it is a fact, which is another example of misinformation from you. Why don't you face up to your lies and your misinformation. The FUD that you present is downright dirty. It's a pathetic attempt to downplay the stock, and you ought to be brought up on charges. wbmw
