I saudered an amd chip and an intel chip together. It's 3 times as fast. Just goes to show that if you get along, wonderful things can happen.

Why do I believe you did this but just ended up frying 2 expensive processors?

Apparently your reason doesn't exist because you didn't recognize my sense of humor.

I had the same thought a few days ago.
Odd how I prefer Intel and PC over AMD and Mac....yet I dislike muscle cars. :thinking:

I don't respect you as much now that you've become cocky and arrogant to everyone. I respect everybody's opinions and thoughts, but you just 'joke' about everything lately. When I say 'joke' I mean on the edge of seriousness. Is there something you need to get off your chest, cause you haven't always been like this.

To each his own. There really is no objective way to say which one is better. You can bench test them and notice one is better at some tests and one is better at others. And that just means it's better at testing. I'd like to hear some reasons why one is better and in what situations instead of just "Intel ownz if you disagree you're stupid."
