Make one simple post about getting a new system, and everyone has to make rude remarks about it. I did not say anything was wrong with my 400 machine I am only getting the new one so my wife and family will have a computer too. not that it should be any of you guys business why I am getting a new one. I was just looking forward to running N3 and GPL on it Sorry for the post.

Why didn't you ask us which puter to buy before you went away and bought the overprized P3? I think a post about what puter to buy to run auto simulators best is much better than a post about what puter already bought, unless you have questions about the new puter. For example if you had asked if your new P3 600 will run GPL and N3 faster than the cheaper Athlon 600, then we could have answered - No, the Athlon 600 is probably faster... Ask here first, then buy, not the other way around. Your current strategy is probably one of the reasons why you had a P2 400 before instead of an overclocked Celeron 300A. If you want to tell someone you bought a new puter, tell your friends, not this NG... unless you have a question about it :o). If you post it here we might think you have no friends, which is okay of course, but if you have needs like having to tell someone you bought a new puter, then you should get some friends. /Chrille, I wont post here when I've ordered my Ferrari F355 Spider...

Exactly, now you've got the point! It's not our business. We don't fuckin' care. So don't apologize, no reason to. It's just that 99,999% of the people here couldn't care less. The 0,001% covering you plus any of your relatives gaining something from your recent investment.

I did not say anything was wrong with my 400 > machine Don't be upset, I kinda thought "only 600". With the Athlon 700 out, I thought I'd see one of those "I can't wait for my 700 to get here" post. I had a PIII 450, and it was not the greatest chip for GPL (at the start of a full race it was slow), and my old PIII was faster than your 400, so, you will see a difference at the start of races. Oh and by the way, who cares what your going to do with the old computer, out with the old, in with the new.

So that next time he'll know better, and instead of Usenet hellholes he'll direct the news to his friends and closest ones who genuinely do care, and get the response he could welcome, rather than the less understanding concerto which only seemed to disappoint him. Of course, anyone can post just about anything they wish to this ng - as you can see - but the point was that since Morris was a bit upset about the reception of his undeniably quite innocent & enthusiastic message, he would be well adviced to keep those kind of news to himself and his friends. And those with a thicker skin... just keep posting whatever you want, makes very little difference to either party.

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!

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??? /Chrille Thomas J.S. Brown wrote in message <[email hidden]>...

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).

Well coz none of the AMD processors could match Intel in performance and compatibility so far... Dunno about the future and the Athlon but that's how it was so far... Just check how many guys here have problems and have the K6! Maybe the DX7 does wonder for AMD but I doubt it. Than again the AMD is much better than the crapy Cyrix.
