    No.

      Your argue is really more than personal, it has nothing to do with nationalities or racial questions or ethics. Finns don't hate Argentines, Spanish or Canadians (not at least me, know one personally in the real world). And AFAIK the Spanish and the Canadians aren't enemies in a psychologic way. So solve the problem like gentlemen (yes, your diapers stink sh-t), appologise and explain why you think this began. And then nicely move to other posts for a while.

        Rasbelin: No it will not be solved.

          Rasbelin, the people who need to calm down here are you and Fez.

              Fine... I'll remove that earlier posting. I don't give a damn if you don't read, because you only seem to want to have a good slap in your faces.

                  No. What are you expecting? A relationship... you won't get one out of me... even if I were you know, I would find somebody who shows a bit more respect.

                      Build. But in New Zealand we don't really have any decent OEMs either.

                          I used to build all my own desktops but it started to become a hassle configuring every then to run with windows. XP and NT can be so picky about hardware. Last year I but an HP laptop and it was so nice to have everything working perfectly right out of the box with all the software already included. I doubt I'll ever build a system again.

                            I imagine most of the American and Japanese companies will ship world wide.

                              I was looking for your correction. And yes, as I said, I do not totally understand it all. But I do guarantee you that running XP my AMD is faster even though its numbers are smaller. And yes that includes the same RAM, approximate video and sound cards. So the only thing I am left to judge on is the processor difference.

                              Not to mention that even if the Pentium is slightly faster, it is more expensive and for me pound for the buck is very important. So I will stick with AMD.

                                Fez: Asher is right. Pentiums are better than Athalons. There is a reason they cost so much. AMDs can do games well, but Pentiums can do everything well. The only place where they are just about equal is on games.
