rofl, AMD isn't screwed in any sense, the p4's w/ HT are ####ing sick, granted, but it definitely doesnt screw AMD.

an actual sim homey... i.e. flight SIMULATOR

Got it now?

WOW, 3 pages and I haven't seen one vote for Medal of Honor: Spearhead (or Breakthrough). Yeah Call of Duty is.......ummm.....ok (at best) online, single player is cool.
Seriously though, MOHAA Spearhead kicks ass online. I highly recommend it to everybody. And if you have Spearhead come to the XKM (Xtreme Killing Machines) server, my name is, well, venum there too.

heres my pc

2.3 ghz P4
512 DDR ram
Radeon 9200 vid card (got for xmas from uncle... w00t)
integrated sound
dvd-r/cd-rw combo 1x/16x/8x/16x
dvd/cd-rw 16x/48x/24x/48x

the only games i really played were unreal tournamen, UT2003, and now the demo for UT2004. i'll be sure to pick up doom III and HL2 when they come out. no other games really seem to interest me much.... iduno why. i suppose now that i have a 9200, i'll play some more games on it.

When I play online games as well as just 1 player games it doesnt run as fast as it should. Maybe I have to much and it cant handle it all.

RAM - 1024 (dual 512's)
Pros - AMD anthalon XP 2800+
Vid card - NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600
Sound card - Creative labs something...
OS - XP home edition

Not sure what else u need to know. But I ran a scan to test speed and I scored lower then a Dell.

Switch out the slow bugged athlon crap, and put in a new P4 4.0 ghz truly a awesome unstoppable combo.

Nice setup other than the AMD crap though... Im jealous of the grahpics and memory...

You can get a new p4 for cheaper than a new athlon if you shop around... whoa, whats this, AMD gets beat in price too...

Jeez. You just don't quit. It's not like he'll gut his PC and buy a new motherboard and CPU just to have the P4 you hold so highly. You can't even buy a 4.0 retail yet.
As for his problem:
Try downloading Sandra and running some tests. It will present you with some suggestions as to why your PC isn't optimized.

a game doesnt have to be a flight simulator to be a sim game and realistic, theres various different types of sims..ie Madden and americas army(actual sims as well)

i play cs 3-4 times a day. 1 of my friends on my floor setup a server for our school, mostly our dorm tho. we're bout to start a 5team tourny and im one of the captains

yea we should set up a dsm server

I dont understand this whole AMD bashing. AMD by far has proven themselves to be a very serious contender with Intel.

btw...who says AMD chips can't over clock?

My system:

-2500 Barton running 2x200fsb at 3200+ speeds (40 degrees under full load)
-1024mb Corsair XMS pc3200 dual channel
-Soltek SL-FRN2-RL mobo
-Pioneer DVD burner
-Samsung CD burner
-x2 Western Digital Raptors in Raid 0
-120gb Maxor spare hard drive for my pron
-Swiftec / Danger Den watercooling
-SB Audigy Platinum sound
-ATI Radeon 9800 pro 128mb (overclocked and running fine)



as far as games are concerned. CS (steam), Halo, NFSU, DoD, and I'm playing Fallout right now if anyone remembers that game

fallout kicks ass.

i played all 3. fallout, fallout2 and fallout tactics...sick ass games

my system is
p4 2.4
abit vt7
512mb ram
msi geforce 4 ti4200 128
wd 80gig
maxtor 60gig
8x +- dvd burner

i havent had any problems playing games...

AMD's own when it comes to gaming. They are THE best processors for gaming. P4's are good, no doubt about it, but they're more of a balanced processor, where as AMD's are more tuned toward gaming.

So quit bitching, everyone.

AMD XP 2800+
80GB HD
512MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio
Windows XP: Home Edition
2.1 Logitech Speakers

I play Starcraft, Neverwinter Nights, Call of Duty (Cracked; No Multiplayer), Half-Life (Cracked; No Multiplayer), Need For Speed: Underground (Cracked; No Multiplayer), Everquest, Soldat, Morrowind, Baldur's Gate 2, Diablo 2 (Installed, but I RARELY play).

Yup.

Ok my system I guess

AMD XP 2500+ Barton (Currently @ 11.5*200)
Thermalright SLK900A with 92mm Vantec Tornado fan(Yes it does sound like a tornado)
1gb Geill Duel channel PC-3200 w/ heatspreaders
ATi Saphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb(Kick a** card)
Abit NFS-7 mobo(using onboard sound, descent)
WD 120gb hd
5 80mm LED Case fans
LiteOn DVD/CDRW combo drive
Custom Case w/ side window
Logitech Z-650s
Logitech MX700 and wireless keyboard(Best mouse ever!)
Phillips 19" monitor

Probably about it. Only cost around $1300 for everything. I really enjoy it, it will play almost everything you throw at it even with aa and af maxed out

I play HALO mostly. MUCH better than CS I think. In a clan too CLAN Elite Predators , but I haven't been playin much since I'm trying to install parts on the Talon and trying to solve my AVC-R problem.

didnt bother readin the whole thread but...

pentium = greddy
AMD = dejon tool


theyre both good products, just one of them rips you off for their name.... wonder which one

You guys gotta check out painkiller and farcry. there the only new games that really put my now old rig to the test.

your amd will guarenteed break down on you on more than one occassion witch if not a hard core techy, you will have to pay out the ass for a new mb... also AMD although ppl think they are good are very very slow, study's show that a p1 can think faster than a amd.
AMD's have alot of problems and Intel builds some nice P4's and such that can creme the living crap outta even the testworks AMD stuff.

It's a Joke.

AMD is cheap crap
Intel will last you forever



(Used to work @ Intel) mawahahahha still got love for them even though I don't work there anymore...

dude... on a serious note though... AMD really do break down 100 times faster and any pentium chip you will ever own.

I do play alot of PC games, what do you play?

Dont get an athlon xp that platform is dead, got with an intel with hyperthreading or hold off for the new amd chips to go down in price a little. Run sisoft sandra like someone suggested, if your scores comparativley suck run clean up software like adaware and defrag your hdd.

AMD suck? Look at intels new piece of ass called prescott , the athlon 64 and opteron stomp all over the current intel chips (im currently running a 2.8ghz intel w/ ht so im not an amd nut), a generation ago amd ruled, but then the p4 came up, but now intels losing again. I used to have an amd 1.2ghz thunderbird overclocked to 1.6ghz but now i've got:

intel 2.8ghz w/ ht 800mhz fsb
1 gigabyte pc 3200 mushkin high performance pc3200 cas2-2-2 ram
intel 875p chipset (gigabyte mobo)
soundblaster 2 soundcard
1 36gig 10krpm raptor hdd -sata
1 120gb 7200krpm seagate drive -sata
1 60gb- 7200 eidie ata 133 hdd
Antec Full Tower case with 5fans.
16xdvd/32x cd burner (i think )
Microsoft wireless keyboard
logitech laser optical mouse (not wireless because wireless sucks for games)
Cambridge Audio 5.1 surround sound system.
MITSUBISHI 21'' MONITOR (getting a second identical one after my tax returns come in and i sell my car)
Radeon 9800pro 256mb agp 8x video card.

i dont play alot of games online , but i've bought unreal tournament 2004 (if anything the only thing i play online) and warcraft 3 recently (i suck), i have far cry and can play it with max settings and it's beautiful, but right now im busy playing the living crap out of colin mcrae rally 4 though.

What the hell was that? My AMDs have been fine, since my first AT with a 10mhz (while Intel was only making 8mhz). Uh... and it still runs fine.

Bizarre.

Anyways, I used to play Asheron's Call, but now all my time's on here.

Darktide.

I had a amd 2200 for around 9 months, it decided to cook along with my power supply and motherboard. Had my p4 2.6ghz for around6 months without incident and it runs way cooler (temp guages) I've noticed that applications run paster on the pentium ( probably due to clock speed) with the smae amount of ram.p4 's are becaoming cheap and are worth the bux you shell out....in my case new mother board, power supply, chip and cooling fan ran me around 225 at fry's electronics.

okay now watch out... you're about to be owned...

!!!
Okay here I go...

PIII 450Mhz
256< sd ram... mixed up
32mb Gforce 2
Badass monitor
Logitec Dual optical MX500
Plantronics audio 90
Creative sound (something )

My game is Counter-Strike... also for 4 jears now, @ 15-30 fps... That rules

I dont understant why you all have that money for Computers, if you drive DSM's...???

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

YOU PLAYED AC!?!? OH CRAP!? i played frostfell but quit, my friend still plays, name is incinerate on frostfell he's a bit high. i had a couple of 126's though.

I play alot of games. Americas Army is a really good game once u get past the training and stuff. And Battlefield Vietnam is a really good game, netcode rox compared to the netcode for bf42. CoD rox, but I can't get the new patch to install for some reason. Tactical Ops is a good game, like CS but faster, and more arcadeish. UT2k4 demo was tight, and so was the painkiller demo.
