where are u getting ur info from? amd rapes intel in gaming, and their X2 processors are better in everything compared to intels pentium D. just google for some benchies.
same thing does with windows and other software programs, like photoshop which so many ppl pirate, the reason it costs to much is that is took so long and so much money to make, look at all of the feature in it!
ur point? how much do u think that it takes to pay the people to do the research and development of these cpu's? and even more, how much is it alone just for research and development? they have taken years to finally make this and millions or dollars spent too.
is there a standalone version of IE? b/c im doing html in school and the book we are using is meant for use with IE but not firefox. alot of the stuff works in firefox but not all of it, like alot of javascript crap. and the problem is that i dont have IE thx to nlite and it helps alot too, so what should i do? i was hoping that maybe there was a sweet firefox plugin that can support all of the code that IE can but not too sure on that so maybe a version of IE that doesnt need to be installed will work for what i need to do.
well if ur at school then run it then, you should run it 8-12 hours at a time, and there is no quicker way unless u just wna skip it which wont let you overclock as good
well if u want to pay for the plextor then get that, but its no better than the nec, its specs are pretty much the best out there and the reviews on it are great
