this computer sucks so bad cause it has a amd turion x2 64 tl-60 in it i want to return it..... hahaha not a chance i love it


btw made my avatar just for you intel fan boys out there.



no but seriously this thing rocks i love it if it was a human id marry it.

 

Uh yeah. We get it. You love your system. But this is kind of getting a little out of hand.

And making fun of the "Intel fanboys" is going a little too far too. I mean, I was an AMD fan back in the day too (my laptop and my desktop both have AMD processors). But the Intel Core 2 Duo literally stomps the Athlon64 FX series into the ground. You won't notice the speed difference in everyday apps (like just browsing the web). But get the newest version of Nero with the multi-threaded H.264 encoder and encode a video to H.264. The AMD system will just get whupped. Throw some games at both too. The C2D will just beat it around.

The Turion line isn't bad. I like my Turion. But making fun of Intel right now is kind of like someone in a V6 Mustang trying to pick a race with one of the new Corvettes.

Ones cheap and quick (Turion) while the other is super fast and more expensive (Core 2 Duo).

Again though, seriously, we get it. You don't need to keep making these kinds of posts.

 

and i have to be reminded by people everyday intel is better intel is better blah blah blah but yet when i give you some heat you cant stand it aye you say im going to far.

same old bull too every one of the intel fan boys claim to have a amd machine lol i love my turion i love my amd but but but lol thats crazy come up with something better than that.

oh and as far as the games go as far as i understand games doesnt use the processor much at all so you saying the c2d will beat it around? come on now.

it will get whupped by multi threaded programs dont make me laugh thats part of the reason they made duo core processors for multi tasking and multi threaded programs.

and aside from the issue of this i dont even like nero i prefer roxio.

so aslong as you guys look down on me for having what i have i'll give what i get.

 

Uh... I've said in my other posts that I have a DV5030us. You can look up the specs on that. The CPU is a Turion64 ML-37. My desktop is running an Athlon XP 2800+ (Barton) that has no problem running 720p H.264 videos at about 50% CPU use.

Games use all components in a PC. Some might be more CPU "dependent" than others, like Flight Simulator X. While others might be more GPU dependent, like Doom 3. While some are equally balanced and benefit from fast components all around, like Half-Life 2. But no matter what, processor speed will always have an impact on gameplay. Just go over to Futuremark's forums. They'll all tell you the same thing. CPU speed, even if the game is heavily GPU dependent like Oblivion, will have a significant impact on gameplay. Let's make a theoritical system. An AM2 Sempron (any model) and a GeForce 7900. Run Oblivion on that. Then pop in an Athlon64 X2. Huge performance increase. Then go further and pop in an Athlon64 FX. Another big jump in performance. Then take out that videocard and throw it into a Core 2 Duo system. Another big bump in performance.

CPUs have a major impact on game performance. GPUs draw the picture and do everything associated with it. But the CPU basically keeps track of the world, whats going on in the world, where things have to go in that world, the AI, all of the user input, physics, and the million and one other things that happen inside of a game. The GPU is basically just drawing the final result of all of the CPU's work. That's not to say the GPU doesn't do a lot of work (like T&L, shading, HDR, etc.), but the CPU is literally what makes that world happen. Think of it this way.. the CPU is basically telling the GPU "here are the blue prints for EVERYTHING. You need to draw this and make it look pretty".

You could have the fastest GPU available, but without a fast CPU to push it, it won't matter at all.

 

so a 2ghz processor means nothing to you? 2ghz means to you that it doesnt have enough power to run a decent game or speed thats crazy talk, your typical of some people on here looking down on others that arnt like you. if they dont have what you have they are trash. and you feel that it gives you the right to tell them how you think they have the worst system ever. do you honestly think amd would sell products that cant handle anything other than word processing because basically thats what ur saying.

looks like im stuck using microsoft word lol

 

hey
can we quit the intel-amd fight
i mean if someone has an amd obviously they like amd better nd if someone has an intel they probably think intel is better.
lets just use this thread for 6000z discussion. If you hate AMD or think intel is better stay out of this thread
cheers

 

Does anyone have a problem with the battery life. Im not even getting 2 hours of battery life and that sucks. I lost out on the Nvidia control panel when I did a fresh install. I tihnk that helped tone down the cpu nd graphics card to get better battery life. does anyone know where I can get it from

 

another thing.....my notebook doesnt have bluetooth...but it is available as an option....does anyone know if i can get bluetooth installed?

 

I would like for you to point out in my post where I said anything about AMD being too slow to run anything but Word.

I never said any such nonsense.

What I did say is that Intel makes faster processors than AMD. Currently, that is an indisputable FACT.

I also said that CPU speed DOES impact game speed. That too is an indisputable fact.

Not once in any of my posts did I say that AMD's processors were slow. I said they were fast, just not as fast as Intel. Which, again, is an indisputable fact right now and the forseeable future.

Not once did I say AMD's processors were bad. Infact, I said the opposite. I spoke highly of the fact that my AMD Athlon XP 2800+ can run 720p H.264 video at all, and at relatively low CPU usage for such an old architecture. The fact that I own two AMD systems (and no other at the moment) makes me wonder how I am, in your words, like people who make fun of others for having something that isn't as good as what I have.

The whole reason I posted is because you were making misinformed attacks on Intel "Fanboys". I simply corrected your information. Not once did I say AMD was bad (I think quite the opposite, the Turion is good for the price, however it is not nearly as fast as the Core Duo or Core 2 Duo), nor did I say it was slow. I was simply saying that Intel makes faster processors. And I was stating the truth about games utilizing and benefiting from CPU speed.

 

darth, from one AMD fanboy to another, settle down. Deliberately attempting to provoke a flamewar was uncalled for.

Thread closed.
