and what are you doign with your computer ??? Browsing web page ???
Load it a 100% for about 30 minutes ( like when your converting video or working on sound conversion and you will see how high the temp get. |

I dont wanna flame but imho pentium is waste of money, u can get a far better processor (AMD) for the same money.
My vote to Amd :) |

AMD all the way.
I just bought a AMD 4000+ 1ghz FSB and HTT, runs at 2.41 solid...oc'ed it to 3.0ghz and my friend a 3.2ghz P4 to 4.0ghz and 800mhz FSB and has 2 gigs of dual channel ram i have 1 gig of DDR400 ram and i beat the living crap out of his PC. Same SLI setup on 2 7800GTX 's =). |

I don't know to much about computer specs, but my PC runs with Pentium III and it gets the job done.
:D |

wat the hell is hyperthreading anyway i've seen it in ads but never knew, My comp is so old i need to get a new one, but im running amd lol
900 MHZ!! |

| The HyperThreading emulates another processor like a dual core, and this isnt guarantee of better performance, in many reviews i heard that in some software u need to disable it to get better results :p |

| so then amd has the dual core how is that? |

I dont know why but,it does not really make any diffrenece to me what what CPU i use,cause i mean we need to get the facts correct AMD is good for games,and it does not mean that games has nothing to do with music production cause i mean 3D games uses heavy floating point calculation and so does the audio software we use .But hey wait !Dont the graphics card render 3d calculations ? emmm so in theory that allows the cpu less work do.
What i dont like is the heat dissapation on the AMD CPU`S but its ok cause i mean it did not lock up or even crash my pc ever so i think its more of a mind over matter thing.
As for intel i cannot comment on it cause i dont own an intel cpu but my friend does and i use one at work "3.0Ghz " and its goood cause i can multitask like crazy !
Its very tough to compare AMD VS INTEL :conf:
Maybe someone could give us a benchmark ! AMD vs INTEL and run cpu hog software like FL Studio or something.

| So nobody else has seen that article about the pentium M that is supposedly owning the P4 in both increased speed and decreased power consumption? I am still waiting to see what becomes of that proc, it seems to be a good one for noise reduction while still ranking high in those silly benchmarks. I saw that tomshardware article about it. If I had to buy something today I would buy an AMD, but I am putting off my purchase because it seems like some breakthroughs are just around the corner and I hate buying something then later seeing some revolutionary new change come out right after I am out of money then everybody else gets it except for me. I wouldn't buy a new CPU right now personally, I think the prices are going to change alot when windows vista comes around. I have a feeling intel has something up their sleeves. So many weird variables at the moment, I prefer to buy stuff when the market is a bit more stable so that I don't risk spending too much money or being obsoleted too fast. |

in brief, 64bit means that the processor can read or write 64 bits (8kb) of data every time from/to the memory. processors are doing it billion times a second (depends on your clock speed - ghz/mhz), which means that your pc supposed to double its speed (from the old 32bit pcs, and of course only when we'll have software that support 64bit). |

Have to confirm that, at high CPU loads the P4 reaches 60-70 degrees.
That's a big problem, cause you're not able to get the maximum out of the processor until you buy a faster fan, but then you'll get an increase of noise (what no producer really wants).
Using quiet fans with a Pentium 4 (2,8Ghz in my case)is nearly impossible if you get CPU loads at 60 to 80 or 100 percent, the temperature reaches 85 degrees @ 2500RPM (Papst Fan).
I wouldnt say that Intel has something special in the pipeline, what they plan is viewable at their site, there's a roadmap. I heard that they going to release faster versions of their Dual-Core CPUs in the first quarter of 2006.
Dual Core is definetly the future and it's currently already available, even if the prices are'nt enjoyable at the moment.
I would recommend to wait a bit until the AMD Athlon 64 X2's and the P4 D 3 and 3,2 are at a human price-range and then making a great step (if you trust all the benchmarks and discussions over the last time it is a big step). For all who cant wait there's also the Pentium D 2,8 for 250-Euro, which also should give a good "boost" ;-)
I would'nt recommend AMD or Intel in general nowadays, just go for the one that brings the better solution for you. Intel has a good / cheap start model (the 2,8 D) whilst AMD brings us high-end performance but also higher prices at the moment.

yeah i know what it is lol.. i just dont get why everybody wants it when there is no software taking advantage of the new technology.. |
