    boooo!! obeying the law? right, but is it an evil law. being complicit with evilness is only a slightly lighter shade of evil.

  2. a pentium 4 laptop making press? for gaming?!?!?! on Review of WidowPC Sting 917 Gaming Laptop · · Score: 1

    a pentium 4 laptop making press? for gaming?!?!?! wtf? if you want something that will ensure that you never have children (by burning your lap - P4's have a major heat problem) at least get an Athlon 64 or FX laptop. p4's suck at gaming, they make way too much heat, suck way too much power, etc. they just suck.

  3. Re:Jealousy on Intel Calls $100 Laptops Undesired Gadgets · · Score: 1

    the MT-40 turion is 2.2ghz at less than 25W
    http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInforma tion/0,,30_118_12651_12658,00.html

    compare that with intel's P-Ms which go up to 27W
    http://processorfinder.intel.com/

    then factor in that the turion wattage includes the very hot memory controller and the PM doesn't, since its on-die for amd chips but on the chipset for intel chips.

    therefore amd has the power/heat lead in laptops. they've had it in everything else for a while now.

    wind turbines have to be way better for birds than COAL plants!

    dude, not trying to start a brawl, i think its time to switch teams. amd scales way better and gives way better performance/$,watt. the p4/xeon suck, the itanium is a dud and the 25W turion beats the centrino. sorry :)

    israel has contributed tons in the way of nat security to the US. militiary technology, tactics, etc. especailly now that we're fighting terrorists, there's no one better at this than israel, and they are actively helping us. in this regard they are one of our closest allies. atrocities? such as?

    israel gets our foregin aide. about 2.8 billion a year. egypt gets more than 2 billion. besides, don't think that this foregin aide is just chairty. its done beacuse enough people think its in our best interests. i'd hardly say that all of their biz is subsidized by the us tax payer.

  11. Re:Until the Pentium M and D are out in full force on AMD Launches Athlon 64 FX-57 · · Score: 1

    the PM is out in full force. its doing quite well. although, i still think the turion (25W/35W) is better. remember that turion integrates the memory controller into the core, so that adds extra power to the core. intel still has a memory controller but its in the chipset, so they get away without using its power in their wattage calculations. to be fair, you should compare the wattage of a turion to teh wattage of the PM and its memory controller on the chipest. the turion also has some other features, blocks buffer overflow viruses, and 64 bit. the pentium D sucks bad compared to AMD's dual core chip. AMD's dual core lead is much bigger than its single core lead. i hesitate to even call teh PD dual core, its two cores, but all they do is share a socket and packaging. amd has real dual core, all in one piece of silicon. much more elegant solution.
