YAY! Now no reason to buy intel at all!

Post by Mobius »

With the release of the nForce 4 Ultra chipset we now have PCIe available for socket 939 64-bit AMD cores along with a plethora of the latest and greatest features in a single-chip solution.

I can now begin planning my upgrade! WOOHOO!

XBitLabs have a review of the EPox board:

Is EPOX the only MB maker that is using nf4 right now? I had terrible luck with my old 8K7A+ and their support sucked.

Merl + Stress: Totally!

I always root for the underdog! I use both Intel and AMD chips, and prefer neither as a rule. When I buy gear, I buy best price/performance at the time. At times this has meant AMD (When the P4 first came out), then I switched to Intel (When the P4 started to ramp nicely) and now I'll be buying AMD64, as I believe it's not only better value, but cooler, quieter, cheaper to run, more potent in gaming, and future-proofs me for 64-Bit XP.

You can bet your last dollar, that if AMD start really ripping Intel to pieces, I'll be wanting Intel to lift their game.
