I think you may be confusing a few things here. You say that the maximum clock speed on AMD CPU's is 400MHz, however, what I think you mean (and correct me if I'm horribly wrong) is that 400MHz is the highest FSB (Front Side Bus) speed on the AMD processors. The fastest AMD CPU's are approximately 2.2GHz, whereas the fastest Intel CPU's are 3+GHz. However, due to differences in the design philisophy between AMD and Intel, the AMD processors can keep up with the Intel's even when running at a lower clock speed. The moral of the story is that the clock speed of a processor is useful as a rule of thumb, however, it's not the the single-most important figure to be used when comparing processors. Did you read the article I linked to in my first post?

I don't know much about prcessors, but HL2 needs 800MHz but AMD's best goes to 400MHz. Is there a differance between how AMD and Intel determine things?
WRONG!
The top AMD FSB is 1600MHz, I know this because I have one...
hes talking about 32 bit chips, not 64bit, and i thought they were 800fsb not 1600?
First off a couple of questions.... what do you mean on 3500? Are you gonna overclock?Originally posted by The Wraith@30 January 2004 - 21:06
Ok i was wounder witch is better for gaming, Athlon XP 2500 (well 3500) or Pentium 4 3.x+?
Clocker might help you there before you do it (checking everything is fine, that is).
For gaming, I've seen that AMD (especially Athlon XP's) perform better when it comes to gaming. It's not a big difference though. The difference actually resides on the money you are going to pay for the same performance. A stock P4 3.02 or 3.06 kicks a stock Athlon XP 2500 from here to Jupiter and back. So if you don't plan on overclocking and you are only considering a 2500+ and a p4 3.x (and money isn't "important"), then go with a p4. I would recommend getting a 3200+ because it would perform the same as a p4 3.x and it is much more cheaper

Yeah, I meant 32bit...Calm down
On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

What is up with you freaking ASUS Fanboys? Swear you guys all come out of the woodwork at night.
Now, I know the A7N8X-E Deluxe very well, and that looks like a good price at 113.99.
Except, if you will notice, my board, the 8RDA3+ is practically THE EXACT SAME, for only 86.00 8RDA3+
And if you get the Epox, you get better cooling, by means of an active northbridge cooling (has a fan and heatsink instead of just a heatsink with the ASUS's) as well as a heatsink on the southbridge chip, instead of none at all for the ASUS. You also get free rounded cables, which was a plus for me, seeing as how they maximize air flow in the case and I was going to buy some anyway. It is also known as a better overclocker than the ASUS's.
Oh, and you save about 15 dollars, but am I the only one that wants to save money?

Haven't read it yet, but thats a dam small mobo.
Umm... with an AGP slot?
The BIOS is copyright 1999 as well.
if your font size is this small i'll add you to my ignore list because you're wasting my time, OK?

Yeah, according to Mad Cat, AGP was introduced in 1997, so I was pretty far off there
Although now Nogimics is saying 1996...
