got a good luagh out of this, someone was advising someone to go AMD instead of a 2.8c intel
OR you could Not pay to much for your processor.... Get an Athlon XP 2900+ Barton core, its about 100$ less at 169$ at newegg.com Get a different motherboard as well (since its an intel motherboard and AMD processors require the AMD type of motherboard). you willt take about 100-150$ off of the price, and get the same if not better performance, Ive seen the benchmarks, and I almost felt sorry for Intel, whats even worse on INtel's part is that AMD has a processor running on 333Mhz bus and 2.08 Ghz, and its equally if not faster then a 2.8 Ghz Pentium 4 with 800Mhz of Bus. Hum..... Which processor do you think has more quality? AMD... OH and its cheaper.... HUMMMMMMMMM which is better...... AMD is. Another thing, The Athlon XP Barton Core processors run a crap load cooler then the P4 Hyperthreading Processors, meaning you arent going to have to go as fan crazy, and overclocking will be MUCH easier in the long run.
