      I want a P4 the most, but the Athlon is definitely a good chip. It's just that the P4 is better.

        Well I like both pc and macs. I use to have a mac, and had it for a long time. I never had any problems with it. Macs are ok if you dont play games that much and use it for word processing or going on the internet, but they tend to cost more than a pc. I read an article on gamespy, at least I think it was gamespy. Anyways it was talking about how apple use it ignore the gaming market, because the guy who started apple hated games, or something like that. Now they have changed theur view and are trying to get devolpers to make games for macs and they are trying to get their processors up to speed with the rest of them that are out there. I have a dell now and it is about a year old, when I got it was I could only get a 933 mghz processor, it was the fastest one the had at that time. I like it a lot too, and have not had any problems with it. One of the reasons I got a pc, instead of mac is that there is very little games for macs, while pc has tons and tons of games that you can buy.

          Cooler than mine, huh? I have an eleven dimesional quantum matrix computer, with a multi time track 705 thz cpu, holographic displays, micro black hole heat sink, power adpater that runs off the vacuum energy, mind machine interface, and a cute little fuzzy decoration!

            I'd say you wouldn't have a computer after you turned it on, because your black hole heatsink ate it all up.

              It's merely a micro black-hole, so minute that the computer would have to be switched on continuously for 2500 years for it to swallow the computer up.

                  Nah, the grey bars mean overclocked on that chart.
                  2.53GHz is the latest P4 release.

                  They're going to hit 3GHz by the end of this year, and an Intel executive has gone on the record of saying they plan to hit 10GHz by the end of 2003 (using the new 0.09 micron process, rather than Intel's current 0.13 and AMD's current 0.18).

                    I'd rather pick Windows PCs since the hardware was much better and cheaper.. and that is what counts.
                    I pick PC's now myself. Macs have gone in the wong direction for me.

                            Well, I just downloaded a demo of a game, Myth 3, and it ran pristinely, so whatever...

                              I can't wait till I see the marks for Unreal Tournament 2003 on the iMac. When it's getting ~60fps on the highest end of PCs in 1024x768, I'm sure it'd be unplayable on an iMac.

                              Same with DOOM3.
