Alright, just wanted to let you all know what I went ahead and decided on  

I got a P4 1.8GHz, MSI 6547 SiS chipset motherboard and 256MB DDR Memory. Everything installed great and is up and running like a champ, I'm very satisfied with my decision

You must have already bought your computer before you asked the question or else you didn't read all of the replies. Even my 1.4 GHz T-bird is faster than a 1.8 GHz Pentium 4.

oh my god....people come on, just get the point. amd rulzzzz and that'S it. they are way better than intel...and the intel motha****** are so damn they can't accept the truth and the reality.

as i saw here, many postings are so damn bad and many are so damn true.

just read about what a previous poster wrote: amd is not david, and intel is not goliath,and amd wants to make money to. well, think about it: the amd sells the cpus at an affordable price, i don't think they want to dump the market. the problem is intel: they sell the processors at a way to high price. they were one of the first and they have the fiancial power to crush every competitor on the market (doesn't this sound like microsoft?:ermm: ). they use their monopolistic situation a lot.

why don't admit it guys? i myself have used intel for years and last year i bought my amd system and i must say, the speed difference between amd intel is as big as the price difference between the processors. amd does a great work while intel is just trying to get amd out of bussines with their marketing campaign (high Ghz counting...but almost no power...but hey, the Ghz number is important:evil: LOL)

just think about this scenario: amd goes out of bussines and intel is the only chip supplier outthere (do i hear something about: hey it looks like nvidia and 3dfx:evil: ). well, this would be our future: soon a 3, maybe a pentium 5, 4 ghz processor,,,,with almost no power gain against the actual p4, 2.2 Ghz...but at the price of 3000$....

damn, i won't buy an intel processor. i 'll go for amd all the way:D :D

and by the way: don't bother telling me my english su**s and that i should consider learning grammar....i know that already, but i think you all got the point.

Heh. Once again, an amd fan quoting benchmarks. Surprise. And from toms hardware no less. He's highly known for being a sellout....he hasn't written a good review in years. Pure dribble...

Bain...wise choice. While you could have saved on your heating bill by getting an amd, the electric bill would have been through the roof.

In the computer/electronics world, price=quality. The higher the price, the better quality of product. Sony and Pioneer are higher priced than Aiwa or Kenwood because they are better quality. Same goes with processors or any computer part. Rarely is it the opposite.

While I do despise AMD, mainly because it is an inferior chip (and their processor naming tactics to confuse the consumer), they do keep the price down on processors. It's competition in any industry. The more companies selling something, the less expensive it will be. Look at Apple. The computers are more expensive than a pc. But of course the quality of an Apple computer far exceeds a pc. If you want speed, forget about the pc and go for Apple.

I have a friend working in the Information Systems Department at the college I went to. They decided to buy a server with an AMD chip. Don't remember what brand it was. Well, after 2 days they switched to an Intel based server, the AMD just couldn't handle the load. The server they switched back to was a Pentium III.

I thinkin' that regardless of what AMD puts our for servers, the Xeon will still dominate in that department. You have to admit it's one nice piece of hardware, whether you like Intel or not.

I don't normally post to topics that have 'flame' written all over them, but in this case I'll make an exception.

In my opinion, as long as both AMD and Intel are competing for a market share, we as consumers are the real winners. Both the firms are pushing for a faster, better chip and both are competing for the limited funds that most of us have. I hope that both will be viable players for a long time to come. I believe that the biggest performance difference will be in the type of motherboard/vidcard that is chosen as the base of any system, not the CPU.

Just my two cents.

We have 2 Xenon boxes at our work we had 2 PIII Xenon 700's in a Netware 5 box, Netware 5 runs better on a single PIII 1gig by far than 2 PIII 700 Xenon's, I reckon Xenons are the biggest Con job, we dont get Xenons in our servers anymore, its just straight PIII's cheaper and faster IMO.

Lets pay $$$$ for more L2 cache running at the die speed w00 w00, not worth it in the least.

Once again an Intel fan who can't accept that the AMD is faster so the benchmarks (or the tester in this case) must be lying. Tom's review of the new Northwood 2.2 GHz showed that it was faster than the Athlon XP 2000+. I bet you didn't think he was lying that time. ;)

When will amd people realize that benchmarks are not real world use. Course I can't blame you...without the benchmark scores, you got nothing. All I ever hear is benchmarks this and benchmarks that. Get over it. Try something else...

I don't care what Toms hardware says. He can say every pentium beats athlon speed for speed, or vice versa. Once a sellout, always a sellout.

Isn't that the truth about selling out.. and I don't think you're comment on "Intel fans just won't admit it" is something to point out. All these benchmarks are based on speed.. speed speed speed.. they dont measure reliability, life of it, etc. And how do we know the software code for these "benchmark proggies" aren't so buggy that they render out complete BS results about a certain processors speed and such. Just s'more for you to think about before you lay the nonsense of "admitting it" again :)

Again, I don't know where you guys come up with the idea that the Athlon based computers are unreliable. I support over 300 workstations. Atleast 100 of them are Athlons. I haven't had a bit of trouble out of them. The AutoCAD Technicians use the Athlons all day every day. Not a single one of them has burned up or acted buggy.

I've saved my company thousands of dollars. There's just no reason to spend more if you aren't going to get more.

....

Now... WE have all established the fact that benchmarks are two sided. But does anyone else realize when 5 different sites compare the Athlon XP to the P4, and they ALL have the same results, doesn't that tell you something?!

You can argue that some of those benchmarks are pointless. But uhh, what about those nice little Quake benchmarks? I bet those aren't pointless. Cause whoever wants to play quake surely wants to run the better rig. Another example would be the Linux Kernel compiling. thats not really a pointless benchmark.

Now.. lets see, If an AMD Athlon XP costs a few hundred dollars less than the P4, and are faster, why wouldn't you get an Athlon.

And for everyone's heat little complaining thing. I have an Athlon TB 900mhz running at 1Gig. My most extreme cooling method is my VOS32 hsf combo. Standard cooling fans here and there. Wanna know what my cpu runs at right now? Right after a nice game of Q3a? 40.9*C and dropping. Now tell me all you Intel fans, what is your P4 running at?

Oh and I know some of you are thinking of that toms hardware video where they took the hsf off the p4 and athlonxp, and the athlons went up in smoke. In all reality, THEY TOOK THE HSF OFF THE CPU. when does that happen in real life? NEVER. did you see the cpu go up in smoke before they took it off? no.

And for the person who was saying the p4's are more flexible or whatever. That may be true with the memory. But AMD has changed sockets how many times? The PIII and PIV probally have 3 different sockets. Athlon XP and Duron systems run on 1 socket. This way, I can upgrade my duron to an Athlon XP. Now Intel fans, can you upgrade your P3 to a P4 without buying a new mobo? I think not

i just think that intel fans are in denial that they spent soo much money on their nice little P4 and a cheaper XP system blows it away.

I have both sides of the spectrum here. My p4 2 ghz and an AMD Athlon 1.4 GHz Tbird. When it comes to doing arithmetic involved stuff the athlon is the comp i use. When it comes to multimedia the P4 Ownz and the AMD doesn't come close at all.

Just my 2cents.

But if i had to pick a comp to use all the time its the P4. If AMD ever fixes their heat problems and makes more of their own chipsets i will be AMD all the way but untill then i gotta stick with the more reliable cpu.

Alright here is how I look at it...

Sure you can purchase an AMD Processor cheaper than a Pentium but where your really downgrading when it comes to the AMD is when you start looking at the chipsets, the best chipset out there for an AMD Processor right now is the AMD Chipset, You can't find a motherboard with an AMD Chipset under $130.

The next thing you may want to look into if your going to be doing some heavy CPU usage with your AMD is a better HSF than the stock one provided with the processors b/c honestly they don't cool the processor as well as they could be cooled.

After purchasing those items with your processor your looking at spending the same exact price as you would for a Pentium, as we've already discussed here there's obviously no need for a new HSF as the one provided by Intel is more than adequate :)

All in all I feel that you're paying for what you get in the long run and that's why I decided to go with the P4 over the Athlon XP. Don't get me wrong though, I feel both are great systems.

Regards to the expandability on the P4's.. I'll be able to use my SiS chipset up to 3.0GHz+ w/o having to purchase a new board. With an AMD I wouldn't be able to go that high w/o needing a new board, those are facts. Also not to mention that AMD is going to be roling out an additional line of processors in the very near future.

It really does come down to a petty argument when you compare these two processors, they're both equally as good in many differant ways of usage :)

    • An oversimplified explanations of Passkeys

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Passkeys: Think of them like a broken heart necklace. Imagine one of those heart necklaces that breaks into two matching pieces. One person keeps one half, and the other person keeps the other half. With passkeys, the website has one half, and you have the other half. If the website gets hacked and someone steals its half, that stolen piece is useless by itself. It cannot unlock your account without your matching half. This particular heart necklace is one of a kind, there is only one in existence. Your half of the necklace has to be stored somewhere. It might be stored on your phone, tablet, computer, security key, or a password manager that can sync it between all your devices. A security key is a small physical device that you keep with you, kind of like a house key, car key, or flash drive. I would not usually recommend a security key as the first option for the average person. For most people, it is easier to use their phone, computer, or a password manager that can sync passkeys between their devices. A security key is more like a spare key you keep in a safe place, just in case you lose access to your other devices or your password manager. Some security keys plug into your computer. Some plug into your phone or tablet. Some get tapped against your device. The idea is simple: a security key can hold another passkey for the same website. Think of it like creating a second one-of-a-kind heart necklace for the same account. One necklace could be paired with your password manager, while another necklace could be paired with your security key. That means the website has more than one matching half on file. One half matches the passkey in your password manager. Another half matches the passkey stored on your security key. So, if you lose access to your phone, computer, or password manager, you would still be able to log in using the passkey stored on your security key. Think of it like keeping an extra special necklace piece on a tiny keychain, stored somewhere safe. The website still has the matching half for that security key, but your half is safely stored inside the little key. A passkey does not automatically exist on every device you own. It lives wherever you save it. If your half is stored on one device, then that device is the one that has the matching piece. For example, if you create the passkey on your Windows computer and it is only saved to that computer, your iPhone does not automatically have that same half. If you create it on your iPhone and it only stays on that iPhone, your Android phone does not automatically have it either. That is where password managers come in. A password manager can act like a protected jewelry box for your passkeys. Instead of your half of the necklace being locked to only one device, the password manager can securely sync that half to your other approved devices. For example, Apple Passwords and iCloud Keychain can sync passkeys between your Apple devices. Google Password Manager can sync passkeys with your Google account. But password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can sync passkeys between everything, your phones, tablets and computers. Now, you might ask: “What happens if I lose access to the device that has my passkey?” That depends on where your passkey was saved and what recovery options the website gives you. If your passkey was synced through a password manager, you may be able to sign in from another device that has access to that same password manager. For example, if your passkey is saved in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, or Bitwarden, another approved device may still have access to it. If your passkey was saved only on one phone, computer, or security key, and you lose that device, then you may not have your half of the necklace anymore. In that case, you would usually need to use the website’s backup login or account recovery options. A lot of websites that support passkeys still let you fall back to your regular password. So if you lose access to your passkey, the site may still let you log in with your password, a code sent to your email, a text message, a recovery code, or some other account recovery process. That is convenient, but it is also important to understand: if the website still allows password login, then your password still matters. Passkeys are safer than passwords, but if your account still has a password as a backup, you should still use a strong, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication if the website offers it. This is why it is a good idea to have more than one safe way back into important accounts. For example, you might keep your passkey in a syncing password manager, add a second trusted device, save recovery codes somewhere safe, or set up a backup security key. A passkey is very secure, but just like a real key, you need a backup plan in case you lose access to it. Now, you might ask: “What stops a hacker from copying my half of the necklace?” That’s the important part: your half is protected. It is not something you type in, and it is not something the website gets to keep. Think of your half as being locked inside a tiny safe on your phone, computer, security key, or password manager. That safe only opens when you approve it with your fingerprint, face, PIN, or device password. When you log in, the website does not need to see your half. It only needs proof that your half matches its half. Your actual half is not handed over to the website. This is different from a password. With a password, you type the secret into the website. If you type it into a fake website, the hacker now has it. With a passkey, you are not typing your secret into the website. Your device is proving you have the matching half without giving the half away. That also helps protect you from fake websites. If someone makes a fake login page that looks like the real site, your device can tell it is not the real match. It will not use your passkey there. Now, could someone use your passkey if they stole your device, got into your password manager, or somehow unlocked the safe that holds your half? Yes, that is why your device password, PIN, fingerprint, face unlock, and password manager security still matter. But a hacker cannot just steal your passkey from the website or trick you into typing it into a fake page like they can with a password. That is why passkeys are safer than passwords. The two matching pieces have to come together, like two lovebirds who were once separated and are finally reunited.

      I heard from a lot of people that driver support for the latest games when RDNA first came out (Radeon 5000 series) was pretty bad, but if you didn't buy the card on day one, or were not trying to play the latest titles, then you were isolated from that issue. Other than that, it's been good and only getting better.
    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes.

The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
