Eric, Talking shit? However much I prefer P3's for a server platform - there's no denying P4s performance. P4 a crappy design? I don't think so. You're not a CPU architect are you? I await your lovely thought out reply - where you attempt to prove your point with information you read on GREATWEBSITE.COM.(powered by AMD of course)

The P4 is a marketing chip. It's not actually meant to give good performance. Instead, it's meant to sound good to ignorant end-users. Intel takes advantage of them by giving them a crappy design, but with really high clock speeds, and then forces major manufacturers like Dell to use nothing else. And if you want "good performance", you pay out the nose for the highest-end CPU, the latest in inefficient design. -- Eric (the Deacon remix) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
