Intel Viiv vs. AMD LIVE!

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the boxing-match dept.

Searching4Sasquatch writes "Hot Hardware has tested two nearly identical HP systems in an effort to determine the best solution between Intel's Viiv and AMD's LIVE! campaigns. Priced around $999, these general purpose systems are tested straight out of the box with no tweaking or refinement to illustrate how "Joe Consumer" would fare in using one of these platforms."

    And to get around the lameness filter (please ignore) - I fear hedgehogs. The little bastards are everywhere, just waiting to kill med as soon as I set foot outside of the basement that my mother locks me in every evening.

      Instead of posting offtopic crud to get around the lameness filter, have you considered the possibility that it was actually working correctly?

    Is it just me or do AMD/MS get together and do marketing?

    Windows XP / Athlon XP
    Athlon 64 / Windows XP 64 (to be fair, Alpha/Itanium were 64 bit chips but Windows never sported the name....)

    The newest thing now? Live mail and Live search from Microsoft. So what's AMD gonna call their stuff? AMD Live! That's right kids.

  3. Intel Obviously Better by R3d+M3rcury · · Score: 4, Funny

    They tested an HP Pavilion 1630n (AMD) versus an HP Pavilion 1640n (Intel). It's obvious to me that the Intel, therefore, is TEN better than the AMD.
