It's not actualy homemade movie... There's a guy in Germany I think, who is a freak for comps. He makes all sorts of stuff; you probably all heard of his 5GHz project, with liquid nitrogen cooling...

This is the address: http://www.tomshardware.com/

And comps used in his test were:
- Intel P4/2000, i850 chipset
- PIII/1000, i815EP chipset
- AMD Athlon 1400, VIA KT133A chipset
- AMD Palomino 1200, VIA KT266 chipset



Actualy, AMD had a problem with thermal diode, so MB's didn't have enough time to shutdown. But, they fixed it now if I'm not mistaken.



Intel still has that technology built in, and I think it's great, and AMD should put it in their processors as well... And as for technology kicking in when not necessary, I don't think it ever happened. At least, not on my machine

However, this is a dead debate, like a debate between BMW fans, and Mercedes fans I say BMW is better, some of you will probably say Mercedes is better, and so on...

I personaly don't like AMD, and there is no way I'm going to put one in my comp. But then, it's just my opinion...

Well done Galahad... That is true what you're saying..



I put one in my comp. and it works fine:)

So Galahad? What's about prices of hardware in SiCG, Novi Sad?

Yeh, i have heard that AMD's heat up like nohing else but the power is so immensre it is worth getting a couplegood fans...

Prices is SCG are about... well, I don't actualy know what prices look like around, but here are some samples:

Intel® P4 - 3,0E GHz HT FSB800MHz, 1MB Socket LGA 775 BOX = 180€
CPU AMD Athlon-XP Barton 2600+ Socket A BOX = 96€
DDR400 - 512MB PC3200 Kingston CL 2.5 = 91€
80GB "Maxtor" DiamondMaxPlus9 ATA133 8MB Cache 7200rpm = 56€

and so on... How about Cro? We anywhere close with prices?

Best CPU Is Intel

Hey guys i just read about this at: http://www.vnunet.com/news/1153631



“AMD has launched a new 32/64-bit processor designed with hardware-level antivirus protection. Launched at CeBIT in Hanover, the AMD Athlon 64 FX53 2.4GHz will run on 32-bit or 64-bit software.

It features an antivirus system designed to block activation of executable malware by marking all memory with page tables and making it non-executable. Any attempt to run an executable outside this is immediately blocked, the chip firm claimed.

But the hard-wired virus protection will only be usable on PCs running Windows XP Service Pack 2, due for release in the second half of this year.”

Yes, its a great innovation from AMD! Go to Control panel -> Sytem -> Advanced -> Performance Settings -> Data Execution Prevention to check it out if you have SP2 installed, if you don't have an A64 cpu then it will say that your cpu doesn't support it on hardware but you can run it on software.

And to all those going on about AMD's overheating. The new Intel Socket T cpu's have been confirmed by major hardware sites to be running hotter than AMD cpus. Intel is also going to launch dual core processors soon so it will have serious heat issues coming up.

Anyways, if you get a good, big heatsink, apply good quality thermal paste properly and use a good quality fan, you won't EVER have heating issues. The lifetime of such a setup without cleaning would be minimum 2-3 years.
