AMD's vs Pentiums

Are there ? VC works fine for me, you're saying it would be faster ? Christian The content of this post is not necessarily the opinion of my yadda yadda yadda. To understand recursion, we must first understand recursion.
I'm a rookie here, but I thought you could compile applications with intel optimizations. My experience level is low enough those optimizations don't mean anything to me yet, but I thought they might in the future. Scott! Put the big rocks in the glass jar first!

Just about to order my first upgrade in 3 years, and since the AMD's are so cheap I'm going to go for one of them. Before I sign my life away, has anyone any words of wisdom about these chips? On a general note I was kind of wondering what hardware setup you guys and girls are using. Is everyone running the latest 1.5GHz beasts and I'm simply a fashion victim, or are people still holding onto their old PII and PIII's? cheers, Chris Maunder
My first ever PC was a 486 dx which was AMD based. It worked like a dream. My second PC was a K6 200 which was absolutely amazing and the system I've got at the moment is a Athlon 950 which runs like a dream. Also me dads got a K6-2 500 which keeps him running nicely. They are absolutely amazing processors. I have nothing against Intel. I just think AMD do a better job of things and they offer a lot more value for money. I wana upgrade soon as well but I wana wait till the multi processor stuff comes out. Spose to be end of second quarter. Lets hope so. AMD multiprocessing on a alpha arcitecture NICE!!!!!!!!
