I use this proc 'for two months. The particularity prfre any PC user is that the process' works quickly, Manir rgulire and does not heat up too: contract completed in this case. I tried 5 Mac and PC processors before. At quality prices, those who would say that between Athlon and Intel there is a price diffrence I would answer: yes and it is justified (j'tais owner of a XP2600 + front). I would continue on the Intel Hyper Threading, this is truly a technological rvolution date (800 MHz Front Side Bus, supports DDR 400 MHz).
