So Off Topic You Just Have To Read It!

Okay, I'm in a rant mode right now, so just comment as you see fit. Anyone else feel that Intel's P4 is rather inferior? I mean, since they have such a huge marketshare, I get the feeling they think they can shove whatever they want down our throats and expect us to swallow it. Not So! We have AMD and DDR. I want to know if anyone is currently running a P4 system. Failing any of you having one(I hope you don't), I want to know if you would ever consider one. I'm only 16, but since I started building my own computers, I don't think I'd ever go back to buying prefab.... Dell can't really be selling that many P4 systems can they? The Inquirer(www.theinquirer.co.uk) says they might start AMD based systems. I live in Omaha, Nebraska. It takes near forever to get parts to the stores since we're in the middle of the US. My best friend is a graphic artist, so the side of my case has a techno pheonix on it. Ok I got off track... Anyways, P4s tell me your take on them.

Don't knock choice, I don't use Intel, but they designed a lot of the things AMD copied. Without Intel selling there overpriced chips to the masses, you're Athlon wouldn't be so cheap.
Hey, if everybody ran custom made computers do you know how many calls you'd be getting for "HELP". Let all my friends and family call Dell. They want advice, I say ask the guy on the 1-800 number. Some people scrutinize ever piece in there muscle car, other people want a reliable import to get to work, and never even lift the hood.

Intel is banking on the old saying "mhz sells". They are hoping that most consumers are too ignorant to know the truth, performance and value is what sells.
