Intel cpus produce more heat than AMD, not less.

Take the money you save buy getting AMD over Intel and invest it into a good
heatsink, if you're so afraid.

As long as you use an appropriate heatsink, approved by AMD, with your class
CPU and don't overclock it, then you won't run into problems.

Remember, the AMDs have the same feature as Intel where they shut off if the
heat gets too much. I believe Intel's slows down first, but I think AMD's
just shuts off. Either way, I've been running AMD Athlons without these
features for over 3 years, and never had a problem with it, so this heat
thing is more or less a silly fear. Not to mention, Intel makes more heat,
its just they have had a process in plan from the beginning that prevents
the CPU of dying.

There's no sense in makign another Intel v AMD war again, clearly there is
no winner...(dont try to say there is!)<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I used to be repelled by those spats, even more so when I got sucked
into one.

I don't want those days to come back, but people just don't seem to
have the fire in their bellies they used to, and that's not good.

I'd almost be encouraged to see a pointless knock-down, drag-out flame
war over nothing. *Then* I'd know the business was on it's way back
to health. .

Yup. Best bang for the buck by far. Get yourself an unlocked Barton core
XP-2500+ and go to town...

Why?

Well, I wouldn't use my finger for a heatsink if I were you. Intel's latest
and greatest run just as hot if not hotter...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

OK, then. To make you feel better, I'll just say: Intel is CRAP!!!
