Intel Pentium 5
Wednesday, February 26, 2003 by kona0197 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
has anyone heard about this new (code named Pentium 5) Intel Chip? Word on the street is the memory for your system (SDRAM, DDR, ECT.) is built in to the chip so no upgrading. Anyone heard anything?

Your welcome to your own devices. Some like Intel other AMD. Sorry for yelling at you. So do you have the P4? I've never owned one and I'd love to here how they perform.

Yes it's a P4.... it's about two years old now and I feel no need to upgrade, other than increasing my RAM from the original 256 megs to 768 megs which made a big difference in running the graphics apps that I am using currently...

Strangely, competitive products with disparate pricing is generally an indication of their potential performance specification. If it's priced like crap, there's a good chance it also IS crap.
Parity in pricing generally matches parity in performance.
GM and Ford may be 'similar', but a Ferrari will always be more expensive, even with fewer doors...
When one is anally pre-occupied with 'size' or 'speed', etc, most analysts put that down to penis-substitute/envy/fixation....

Cool. I am running only 128 DDR but that will change tommorrow. 384 should make a difference I guess. Maybe I should look into the p4 chips.

I'm not a girl but for the record who cares about the speed of what prosessor or system. We are all chatting here to discuss in a brotherly fashion different aspects of what we have heard or deen and to share artwork and skins or so i thought. Anyways, I am happy with what I have.

I've had a dell latitude laptop as well as a dell dimension desktop. Sold them in 2000 but I must say Dell is awesome.

If I can not talk my wife into the 17.s Power book next month when this contract comes in, I'm going with the Dell 
support is fantastic and they are rock solid.
Compaq used to be able to make that claim back a while ago when it was Compaq, HP makes a great server, but ick the desktops.... Kinda on the grade of the old Packarbells

I built my system piece by piece. AMD Duron 1.3, 40gig, etc. Now I come to find out I could have gone to Costco and ordered a Dell through them for cheap. Should have waited. Dell customer support rocks.

I don't think there is a big noticable difference between one brand or the other.
If you have to rely on a benchmarking software to measure the difference between one or the other, then the difference isn't that big? huh?
My next PC will probably be AMD, just because it's cheaper, and in my opinion probably just as good. Why pay more for nothing? Contrarely to Jafo, I think that price isn't always related to quality, but very often related to brand recognition. You can have two identical products but one will be twice the price of the other simply because of the brand name.
