This is for all you computer geeks out there (myself included)..........

Which processor do you prefer between AMD, Intel, Citrix (don't know if anyone actually uses them anymore)

I was just wondering about this coz there seems to be a never ending battle between the two. I myself am a dedicated AMD user since Pentiums just keep $&#$% out and giving me too much bullshit which I can't be bothered dealing with every day.

Um, i wont vote because i dont know what the hell these things are.
What are they?

I prefer pentium, tho my laptop is an AMD and I dont have a desktop atm. But when I finally up grade I'll go back to pentium. Had a few teething problems with my AMD which really fu*ked me off

well think of it as the brain of your computer. it does all the processing needed to run the computer. without it there will be no computer.

isnt that like the hard drive?

I reakon you mean the CPU..if so then sorta. Don't worry...heaps of people don't know what each part is called. I am forever getting people calling up at work saying "my modems not working" or "when i push the mower button on the modem" and Im like power button on the modem?? and they more often than not mean the pc itself..they call it a modem

I prefer AMD Athlon....Hewlett Packard has turned me off Pentium 4's with all the CRAP the pre install on the pc that makes it SLOW...and Im sure they don't use the type they say they do, my PIII 500 is faster than some of there P4 2.4's!! I'd also take a Duron over a Celeron but you hardly ever see either of those 2 proccesors these days.

I hate Hewlet crappard thats why I always go for a non-brand pc when I get desktop systems. You get exactly what you want and no "hidden" extras.

I had a celeron once, many moons ago, it went alright. Was in a Toshiba Laptop, seemed to be able to cope with my divx which was the main thing

AMD, because they make the fastest cpu's around, and also the cheapest

Although I hate Intel, I have Pentium 4's in my PC and laptop.

I've never had problems with AMD in the past. The make processors as good as anyone these days.

Didn't Citrix die with the dinosaurs?

AMD all the way!!! Clock for clock beats the living crap outta intels

Loving my 2800+ O/Ced to 2185mhz

i hate Intel becuase they do stupid money making things like having different cpu slots for each kind of model they make compared to AMD who have ONE!! (well thats what they had when i built my pc ages ago) so you could buy the cheapest AMD duron cpu then upgrade to the bling bling $&#$% when you have the money without buying a whole new mainboard. no im not a geek!!!

It's amazing how little some people know about computers. For example, most non-computer people I meet in NZ call disk space "memory."

haha

yea that's a general mistake heaps of people make. it's the same as when you ask them how fast their computer is and they tell the amount of ram they have.

cracks me up every time

AMD is better for games, thats why I have one I've got a AMD Athlon 2500XP and it goes hard!

AMD is better
altho i run a p4 2.7ghz
Celeron is shit

And an Athlon 2.7ghz would smoke my pentium 2.7

*cover me falco , Im hacking into the mainframe...ewwwahhhehe*

Go intel i say i have a 2.6GHZ HT Process O/C to 2.8 and it goes well with 512ram with Winxp

Er.. you mean Cyrix

Citrix is the thin client system

arghhh g33ks everywhere...

but personally I prefer "PCL in Parnell" for my photography processing of course

*who let the photographer out??!!*

i like the reliability of my P4 2.0GHZ

hated the reliability of my old AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1400, overheated sooo much!
