hey, i didnt say i prefered the P4 to the athlon Xp, i did not, i had an Nforce 2 board with an xp 2600 myselfAPE wrote: Add in the price difference with the fact there was no nForce chipset and the Athlon takes the p4 to the pier with cement shoes, puts a bullet in it's head and lights it on fire then pushes it over after roasting marshmallows.

and yeah, tell me about the price difference, back in 2003 i was drooling over the newly released P4 3.0 GHz, the first 800 mhz northwood, hyperthreading too i believe, i wanted that badboy, then i ended up going for an athlon XP 2600+ for a quarter of the price

i did love my good old amd machine, when my mom decides to upgrade, that cpu and vid card (the almighty GF 4 Ti 4800se) will come back to me, and be put up on the wall in a frame
