Christer,
Why in the world would someone ask you for an opinion only to hear as a
response "Probably"?  The AMD part may be faster on some of the "fixed"
benchmarks, but we'll see how it fares upon widespread adoption.  It really
makes no difference whatsoever if a CPU is faster if it miserably fails
software/hardware compatablility.  We know the P3's are fully compatable
now, not the "what if" of the Athlon.

Morris,
Pay no mind to some of the responses you recieved.  Annononymity equals
bravery in an online forum.  Take many of the same "flamers" in a one to one
confrontation and they will cower behind mommies shirt tail :-)

Enjoy that new "Kickin" system!

Mitch

I've got an Athlon, (550), It is very fast, and not just at benchmarks,
every game I have thrown at it I can run all settings max, and still get a
good frame rate (I had a PIII 450, and I can not say the same about it).
As far as hardware/software compatablility, it works with all the hardware I
had with the PIII, and all my games. I have not heard of any compatablilty
issues with the Athlon.

A 'sports car' and a 'fast car' aren't always the same thing, eh?

Even on GPL with all graphics and all AI cars you get a good framerate?

I have never understood why anyone would drink coffee wihtout caffeine in
it. What's the point? Coffee doesn't taste very good in the first place,
even when you're used to it, and believe me I've been drinking it since I
was seven, and without the caffeine you get a drink that doesn't do anything
for you and as an extra bonus it doesn't taste very well... It's like
cigarettes without nicotine. How stupid would it not be to smoke those???

It never drops below 19 frames, even at the very start of a race with full
grid, max detail, and res set to 1280x1024 (at least at Monza, have not
tried other tracks yet).

As soon as ASUS makes a main board available (and isn't shivering from
Intel's 'pressure'), I'll put together an Athlon system.

Athlon boards are a bit too far and few in-between for me right now.

I think ASUS do have a mainboard available. One company (in the UK at
least) I know of is doing Athlon/mobo combo's for :

500Mhz - 269ukp
550    - 335
600    - 444
650    - 539
includes coolermaster fan thingy.

Still too pricey for me but certainly seems the way to go rather than
PIII.

This is how I feel too, I've used many different boards in my PC's over
the years, but somehow I always come back to ASUS, too bad Intel
(probably) scared them off the Athlon, but then again, the famous Tom
has praised AMD's products before....
