    Intel LGA-775 screwed after 20 insertions

    Is Intel's Prescott P4 too hot to handle?

    Intel embraces everything that's up to date.

    They led us into ATX, even when AMD platforms were sticking to AT. It will be the same thing when BTX comes. Intel will march forward bolding, bring us PCI Express and all sort of other advances, whilst AMD will be bringing us yesterday's news with inferior chips that are aimed at gamers and students.

    Eh? What did you want to know...?? Did I miss something...??

    As far as the slurs go (drinking again phant), I'm wondering why they are there and rational, well thought out argument is not...

    Also, I did provide answers to your position of why you believe Intel is superior, but all you have produced so far is opinion.

    PS: You are prone to having a few beers at the weekend are you not? You even wrote once that you were too drunk to make an intelligible post (if memory serves me). :)

    Besides, I don't really feel like arguing as there is nothing wrong with choosing Intel. I simply disagree with your suggestion that AMD is inferior.

    Brand loyalty is a trap, so be very careful. You like the P4, but hopefully won't shut out alternatives in the future.

    The P4 really is a better processor... price aside of course. But now things are going 64-bit and AMD has the superior product at the moment.

    I hope Intel comes out with a decent 64-bit alternative. :p

    The only reason the P4 doesn't do that is because of its heatspreader.. Which is a nice touch. :)

    But I just recently saw a guy kill a 3.0Ghz P4 system at work by turning on the computer when the heatsink was off. It was dead very soon after.

    An AMD won't catch on fire as long as their is a reasonable heasink on it.

    Yes, I am though just trying to stir up some argument for a bit of fun.

    No, I am not drunk at the moment. That was a little below the belt and unncessary. Sitting around drinking is, in any case, something I've long since grown out of. And in any case, as a Staff Member of Techspot that's not something I would do.

    I just wanted a bit of Sunday afternoon banter, if you have taken it as something other than that I do apologise. Though please don't accuse me of something like that again.

    Okay phant, I hope you realise that I am only kidding around also. I only made the comment because you were being a little irrational in your arguments, and typically that would happen when a little light headed after a beer or two. Sorry if you took it the wrong way. Just having some fun. Please don't take it serious, as I had a couple of bottles myself today (2x300ml, 5 hours ago over lunch, and not enough to get pissed). :)

    So, anyway, AMD are crap... ;)

    Only kidding...

    I like my Intel P4 3.0C better than my Barton 2500+. It runs things faster like games between the two. I don't have a 3200+ to compare though.

    I guess I am Phant's apprentice. "Intel IS Superior." Muhahahahahaha. :p
