    What sort of processor is humming inside your box? If you have more than one, the poll is open to multiple choices.

    Intel for now, though it will be a tossup between Intel and AMD when I buy my new computer in hopefully a year. I'm sort of holding back on AMD because I'm not sure if it will be compatible with other software though...

    AMD Athlon64 +3200 running at 2.1GHz FTW!

    Some school PC's have 3GHz P4's, they still run as slow as ****, mainly because that's the only good thing in them. Everything else is garbage.

    See, it's not just the processor that counts, but the overly expensive stuff to go with it!

    And because my Proc is 64 bit, i can use the 64 bit version of Windows!

    Everything is so quick. Much better than Intel junk.

    I wuv my AMD!

    I've got an older A64 3200+ sitting in a box right now. Used to hit 2.5. Nice proc.

    Swapped it out for a nice dual core opteron 165. It hit's 2.5 too, so I got no complaints coming.

    Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.40GHz, with space for a second one (currently unused).

    I've had Athlon's before - and have no preference for one company over another. Dollars : performance ratio wins my loyalty. :)

    Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20GHz overclocked by 10%= 3.52.

    btw, anybody know, what the 'good' running temperature should be?

    Mine is between 47C & 53C core and the case is at about 31C - is that acceptable or need I worry?

    Those temps sound fine to me. The proc might be a tiny bit hot, but it's nothing to get freaked about. I've got a massively OC'd Athlon, and it's running at about 47C. Totally stable at that temp. You'll know your box is too hot when you start getting spontaneous shutdowns.

    I'm running a puny AMD 1800 Ghz since about two years.
    It's actually pretty good in comparison to the 750Mhz AMD I had before and
    the diverse collection of Intels and AMD's (mostly because of price) I had
    throughout the years.
    I'm running WinXP and Suse on it. I combined it with a 128 Mb ATI card
    and 1Gb of RAM.
    Shogun and M:TW run perfectly.
    Rome is slightly laggy but SP is very playable. The only thing that really
    bothers me is video editing and conversion. It takes forever.

    My proc also began life as a low-clocked AMD XP. If memory serves, it was also somewhere around 1800 mhz or so. Stuck a better aircooler on it, cranked up the frequency until the machine started shutting down, backed off a bit, and hey presto! It's lived a happy life for the last three years at 2100 mhz. Hooray for better coolers.

    Well, it should've been 1.8 Ghz of course.

    Lol im on 2 thousand posts between this account and shambles.

    Guess i talk a lot.

    i have quite a few pc's
    Somewhere around 20. from 333mhz to 2.8Ghz
    "theres 5 in this room with me now"
    But out of all those pc's i have 3 that i use.
    2 pentium 4 prescots 2.8ghz
    and
    1 Amd 1333mhz

    Personally.
    I belive the 1333 Mhz, Runs more eficiently than the 2.8ghz. processors.
    And as such. the amd runs any game servers i wish to run.
    well Within reason
    "doom 3, HL2 Excetera Get hosted on one of the 2.8ghz"
