    lmao, first off, intel sux because you can't OC them the way you can with AMD's. yes they are cheap, but they're really fuckin good (much better than intel performance wise).

    This Intel/AMD issue doesn't seem to go away. Both Intel and AMD are good companies. It's just that right now AMD offers more power for your money. They are also both reliable. So right now I choose AMD. It may not always be the case and when things change I'll choose whatever is better at that time.

    Imo. AMD has been ahead of Intel since the introduction of the AMD Thunderbird chip. Before that the Intel was the boss.

    This 'Cell' is altogether different. I'll be watch it as it unfolds to see what it has to offer.

    you know...
    i heard about this a couple of weeks ago....
    and my first response was OMG4GHZ!!!!!!!!1111
    but that doesnt mean anything necessarily
    will have to wait and see
    clock speeds sound good on paper, but...
    how they utilize em is what really counts
    how else could AMD pwn Intel?
    at clock speeds over a GHz slower?
    better manipulation of the architecture
    will be interesting to see what this Cell does
    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    arstechnica did a really good write up on the cell processor.

    second part

    the main problem i see with it is how to balance the load between the 8 spe's. no current compiler can do this.

    its like ford and lada........

    a lada my be just as good a car, but just priced lower........ the only reason you should go with the ford, is cause you just look a fool in the lada.........

    with CPU's that last part aint really that much an issue of course


    btw: WHY THE **** CANT PEOPLE JUST TYPE ENGLISH, instead of l00kz @ /\/\3 i have t0 m\/ch timezzz language?

    btw2: the cheapass euroshopper cola is the best (yeah, you have to be dutch to know it, but its 1/3 the price of pepsi/coca cola and tates just as good )

    Tesco's own and Virgin colas taste great too - none of that fucking horrible aftertaste.

    This may be due to the absurdly low clock speed of these colas.
    Speed 'em up and the aftertaste reappears.

    It's just the price one pays to be l33t.

    Meh, I'm gonna' build a mini ITX now, just for the hell of it.

    Everybody can do high clock frequencies these days, but they never think of keeping them low these days so as to save electricity.
