"No one buys AMD anymore."
Not true, I just bought a new PC a month ago and I went with an AMD Athlon XP because I wanted both great performance and a low price.

Kudos to you jj79... Tis a funny thing. I think everyone here thinks P4 is the wave of the future when in fact the P4 is playing catch up with the Athlon.
Myself I have a G4.

G4 (PowerPC) is a good processor too. Nintendo Gamecube uses a version of PowerPC called Gekko while XBOX uses a bare bones version of P3.

Yeah I'm happy with it. Or will be I get it Sunday. I think it may be a G3 600 or something. The problem is I will have a heck of a time relearning OS 9 and X.

I wish I could have a Mac, but they are so expensive. Oh well, with PCs you get more power for less money, especially if you choose AMD over Intel.

I have both. I actually enjoy any mac more than any pc. Macs never crash or give you a blue screen of death. Love AMD

I totally avoid the Iraq thread. Don't care to get attacked for my pro-war stand, and I don't think a lot of the anti-war people would understand my reasoning.

I don't get the blue screen of death while running Windows XP. Windows XP is based on Windows NT which is very different from the Windows 95 code base (Windows 95/98/ME). I have had a blue screen during Windows XP boot-up on my old computer. XP has not crashed so far on my new computer. Although XP performs well for my needs, I still can't help being curious about Mac, Linux, or any other UNIX based system.

I believe my old computer had hardware problems that lead to the crashing.

Coriosity is the main reason for switching for me. After 4 years of windows I'm ready for the mac world.

Personally I have an Athlon XP. I wish I had paid the extra and got the P4. Maybe not as fast but I wouldn't feel totally paranoid that it was gonna fry itself either. I have twice had alarms wake me up in the middle of the night saying it was at 80 deg C (I don't think they were valid temp readings as it was down at 56 deg C when I looked on the MBM 5 monitor).
It's a 1700+ (1.4GHz really) but I'm running it at 1.1GHz to try and keep it under 50 deg C most of the time. My 1GHz Duron with ti4600 outperforms it in games and such so I mainly use it as a server and for Graphics, General use.
The place I took it to get the heatsink/fan fitted (Volcano 7+) hadn't got a clue and used ALL the heatsink compound after me taking it back because they used _nothing_ between the heatsink and the chip the first time. It was dripping down the sides and in a right mess. Spent a day cleaning it up and reapplying Artic Silver instead.
I still don't know if it was damaged in that first period of switching it on and seeing it climb rapidly to 70 Deg C before I switched it off as fast as I could.

My old computer was running on an AMD k-6 2 processor running at 500MHz, and it never fried on me. I never did run my computer 24/7 so I can't say how good of a chip it is for that. I was very pleased with my AMD chip, so I had no problem deciding on purchasing an Athlon XP system.

Get a volcano 9 and use the temp sensor that comes with it. Athlons can run safely without burning up at 130 fairenhet up to 150. My duron runs at 120 F and it has NEVER messed up.
