PCs in the New Year!

[Hero]

ask a question, answer, and ask again.

Mine is: what exactly is the difference between the Pentium M and the Mobile Pentium 4? If you can point to an article, all the more better.

My computer question:

[Rich]

My question is why use Pentiums?

My computer question:

I think Intel is releasing a new chip to compete with the new AMD 64-Bit FX. Although I think it's still titled a P4 with some extra jargon on there. I'm an AMD supporter regardless, they've always been a better option I think.

Indeed, I'm a happy Athlon user.

Wow, I get to look forward to the pentium 4 DX 18737-CD3 Superdy-Duper processor.

Seriously... someone needs to tell them it's time to level up.

Except... theyre not.

Pentiums outperform AMD chips easily. This has been the case for years, and it doesn't look like its gonna change. AMDs are cheaper, which is awesome (when/if I ever build my own comp it will probably have an AMD), but you get what you pay for.

And there arent any 256 mb PCI video cards because PCI is fucking ancient and you couldnt even take advantage of the video card's power on a slow-ass PCI bus.

Even though P4 may outperform some AMD models, AMD is built for overclocking Really man, who uses their AMD at the speed they bought it at?

[JMET]

wrong...
