Hi all,
I don't know if you already had poll about processor type, but now I think ist time to tell again, which processor we have. I have AMD Duron - 1,6 ghz, but personally I think that pentium4 is best choice. Reason for me to have Duron is cheap price.

[Galahad]

I'm using Intel Celeron, Northwood-128, 2.0GHz, that I overclocked to 2608MHz yeah, I know, where did those 8 MHz came from...

But, despite what all people keep saying, that Celeron is a crapy processor, I never had any problems with Celerons, and I had them a lot... It's same as Pentium, just has less L2 cache; a lot les

Anyway, I prefer Intel over AMD, 'cause I had some pretty bad experiences with AMD, and never want to see it in my machine... God damn thing actualy burned itself, and took the mohterbord with it...

I'm getting the AMD Athlon64 3700+.
It shpuld be fine
But why did ur MAD chip fail so badly? were you messing with settings?

Shoot me if I know why it crashed. I actualy didn't mess with anything, I didn't know that much about hardware at that time. It was summer, it was extremely hot, I guess AMD's thermal diode failed, and just burned, dunno... But, that one time was enough for me...

[Bullseye]

I'm using a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz HT.
It's good enough for me.
I think you made a mistake in the poll.
Shouldn't the Pentuim VI be IV ?
Maybe you can change it becose if heven't heard of a Pentuim 6 yet.

I use Athlon 2500+ with 512 mb ram on asus a7n8x-x is just work fine.
Yeah it can use for regular work also to video cutting.
I think it is enough for me too. I if has a choice/money.
I will go to get athlon 64 bit one. hehehe

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think it's coming out yes...but dunno when? They sad that chip will sample internally at Intel in January 2004 and will take between four to six months to get to market.

So now has 11 moths past and it's still not on market.
But they sad also that the "pentium 6" will follow a very similar schedule.

Sit back, and relax... if you wait they will come...

Oke, I use Intel Celeron 1.3Gigs and 512Megs of RAM. I guess it is adequate for what I work. Photoshop, webcoding and designing, (surfing the net and Office ), watching movies. No need for hig tech computer. All I need to know is, if Abit ST6 motherboard needs some drivers for XP. MAybe not.

I agree.

I use Intel Celeron 2.4Gigs and 256Megs of RAM.But sometimes it does a bit slow.
hmmm... May it be the cause of RAM?

Anyway Celelon is cheap and Pentium IV is expensive.
I couldn't buy Pentium

It is possible.. If you would try to get another piece of 256 RAM, you will probably get higher system performance... at least by 40% your system will do faster...

im currently using pentium IV because of it's availability in our country and because of its fame.. but im curious about AMD duron maybe because many people says that it is more realible than pentium and even more cheap.. I THINK

[karlo]

I only have a Pentium III, 710 Mhz, 128 MB ram. I always change my bios/cmos settings. Example, I've turned the "memory hole" feature on, then my computer's performance was faster than before...

[melkonianarg]

I just run a pentium II at 233mgz, with onboard graphics and 32mb of ram, simple eh. I havnt upgraded it for 6years or so.

Hi,

Its not the best and its not the worst......

i Have PII 2600 Intel

[SmUX]

I voted other as I have an AMD Thunderbird (P4 equiv, I believe) 2.4Ghz...bought it over a year ago and it's still running, which is a first for anything I own. The PSU inside my machine is fried, but still pumps power into the MB...the fan in it doesn't spin all the time (and makes a hell of a racket when it does) so every so often the PC turns off as the PSU overheats...plus there's a wire loose inside so I have to jiggle the cable between the PSU and the MB to get it working...

...I'd buy another but I'm a lazy bastard :-)

[WeBmAsTeR]

THe one i'm using rite now is 2.4GHz, windows 2000, I also have another 450Mhz, wid XP pro.

AMD XP 2600+

[icedragn]

Im running an AMD Athlon XP 2400+ right now, im upgrading soon to an AMD Athlon FX 3400+ with 2mb cache, its gonna fly man also people talkin about pentiume being better, quite frankly its not. Overall the AMD Athlon gives power and better game performance than the Pentium at a more than cheap price. But on the other hand the Pentium 4, especially with hyperthreading is pretty sweet for running multiple apps, also the P4 is just quicker at running apps tho too. Just hard to get over its steep price, I have been lookin for a cpu for this p4 board i was given a while back and its the gay socket 423 one that was made for only god knows why cause it isnt the standard but ne ways the cpu's on ebay are still running US$100+ even for a lame 1.4ghz or so so i still dislike pentium and give AMD a big thumbs up for being such a great company.

I have an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ which is overclocked to a 3200+. It runs at about 2.21 Ghz. It runs pretty stable most of the time and has never failed on me once to this day. Once I heard a buzzing noise and thought that the time was up but luckily it was only a faulty power supply and I replaced it with a 420 watt power supply. I'm now looking into an Athlon 64, probably a high 3800 or an FX. This would be an upgrade for the games that come out in the future.

[Mr. Cheeky]

its not the best but it runs pretty fast and i like it
