and second AMD and cyrix made 486 cpus on license from intel.

no. [/b][/quote]
please correct me in other ways

with a link because it was not clone processors,

Just as a bit of info, I too was troubled by the fact that AMD chips never seem to run at their intended speed. Come to find out, one has to move some jumpers around on the mobo in order to get the recommended speed. k: :Titan:

@_@

are you saying you run the cpu's real-world mhz at the "+" speed rating?!

it might be running a little hot [/b][/quote]
I run my sempron chip at its advertised 1.5G

When I installed it and found it only at 1.2G, I got ticked off and demanded to know why. 1.5G is its safe maximum and my board simply wasn't configured to tap into it completely. As soon as it was, it worked nicely giving me a slight speed boost.

i now know amd has been round for ages sweet i guess you do learn something everyday

AMD for me. They have overall better performance then Intel, IMHO, and this dates back to the times of x86. They also overclock much better (and are more stable afterwards).

[Apocalypse Dude]

As far as I know the performance is about the same, aswell is the heat that's coming from the CPU's.
But I work as a repair engineer for a major computer builder (to remane nameless here) and in the last 1.5 year I've seen a whole lot more of AMD's failing then Intel's. So my mind is made up I rather pay a little bit more money knowing that I buy a CPU that lasts....

[_r.u.s.s.]

intel sucks

I've seen a whole lot more of AMD's failing then Intel's.

durons, new AMD processors are just better, especially 64bit athlon!

[Apocalypse Dude]

I said in the last 1.5 year, so no Duron's but I mean Athlon's, Athlon64's and sempron's
