Don't you just hate seeing a faster computer with LESS SPECS?!  email this discussion to a friend?

I am amazed at what my old computer can do. I mean, heck, two of my branded computers are stomped, smack-faced. Grrrr, I need a core 2 anytime soon.

You see, we have three computers in the house(four if you include the dormant laptop). So ok, three desktops, one denominator:all of them have no special video card, they're all integrated in the motherboard. One is a custom computer with an AMD athlon XP, 1.2ghz, 128mb ram. One is a Dell Optiplex gx270 with Pentium 4 2.4ghz, 256mb ram dual channel, and the one I'm using right now is a Compaq Evo desktop, Pentium 4 2.0ghz, 640mb ram. So who will you bet on running the fast lane?

Yeah, based on the discussion subject, you can bet on the AMD. C'mon, everything, from games to browsing to even using Microsoft word, the AMD beats the two. Arrrgghhh...The abd thing about that is, that AMD is in my brother's room, it is not hooked up in the router directly, and the hard drive is too small for my everyday needs...

I wish I could change this current computer of mine. I hope to earn more online.

Have you ever experienced something like this? Have a nice day.

ha ha....I just disconnected my brand new pc with Vista on it and am now back on my old XP which even though it's older and has less of everything on it runs SO MUCH BETTER!

Yeah...
Mind you we have a total of 15 computers.
Four of them are pentium 4 and all brandnew.
But they are giving me headaches.
But I saluted all my pentium 3 computers...
They outlast the pentium 4...grrrr..
Maybe it's true that old appliances are better
than the new ones, because the manufacturer wont
create something in good quality...you know why?
because people will not buy new gadgets unless the
old ones are already dead. That means one thing...
the return of new customer to buy the same product
is less...right?cryangryangry

I don't quite get the last part. But I think there really is a problem with the architecture of Pentium 4 and Pentium D. Have a nice day.
