Or maybe because I didn't say just "perform well," I said "perform as well as the P4 that got overclocked to 5.25 GHz"
And if you can point me to a non-overclocked Opteron that can beat a 5.25ghz P4, I'd REALLY like to hear about it.
Again, grumble grumble bitch bitch and the like.

oh and, i ran a benchmark called testlab03 yesterday, and it turns out that an athlon1600xp actualy has the same FPU performance (floating point calculations, as in decimals, floading point is just a fansy pc tech word for them) as a p4 2.5ghz, which strangely enough my 2600xp beat the crap out of ([results]1600xp = 186 - p4 2.53 = 284 - 2600xp = 234)

Get some credible information or a degree specializing in said field...maybe then you'll say something relevant and come up with your arguments based on YOUR knowledge and not someone else's.
Yeah, a simple copper pipe with a bit of foam taped to it would cost three thousand dollars. Sure.

Let's see: You made a post about the 5 Ghz overclocked P4 on:

Wow, sure looks like you posted first.
dwchang wrote:You can say all you want about me bringing up stock computers, but you comments comparing 5.25 Ghz parts to 3.25 Ghz parts is ridiculous and stupid

And that has what to do with anything?
the Black Monarch wrote:And of course your comparison of a 5.25 ghz part to a 2.0ghz or less part is so much more reasonable? (BTW, I never brought up the number 3.25, that was again your doing. I used 3.5, a much higher number)

Sorry, that was rather rude of me to both of the users...
