hmm
I'd still prefer a Pentium 4 with hyper threading

<font color=orange>Forget the desktop stuff. I'll never go back to a desktop! Only Laptops for me! Now if you are talking an Aleinware Area 51m laptop, then I'm all for it!!!

Check it out here!!! AREA51m

well to each to his own i guess.. personally i would like that kind of mobo.. of course hyper-threading is still superior (for now). i do hope amd will release something to combat it or they are done for.

I think AMD will last a fair bit longer even if they don't release an equivelant of hyperthreading just because they are so much cheaper than pentiums for their level of peformance. I mean i would rather a pentium but for their price AMD are pretty good.

thats why i got it :D .. but if AMD does not do anything soon, they are going to be in trouble if they cant compete with hyper threading.

Hyperthreading is not a plus point anyway. Its only good for multi-thread apps. For most (if not all) games, hyperthreading slows you down.

And if your running a load of multi-thread apps, chanes are you can afford an SMP rig anyway.

yeh it looks good, but if you read the review which compares it to the P4 extreme. And the P4 does look more solid although I am a fan of Athlon and prefer them

i didnt know that.. thanks for telling me ;)
