whats the differnce between a fcpga and a socket 370 chip?....i always figured they were the same?....

i dont know squat bout intel.....havent owned one or wanted to since i first heard about the nx586 and k5 chips...pity they both never (really in the case of the k5) came out

Socket370 just talks about the socket itself.

FC-PGA (Flip-Clip Pin Grid Array) speaks about an implementation of the socket, just like PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array) one of the other alternatives).

PGGA covers all Celeron chips up to the 533, and FC-PGA covers Coppermine CPUs, and Celeron 533A and beyond.

And yes you're right, grey area, but does belong in the newbie forum IMO.

yes sabertooth i have to agree: i love the eloquent prose and sophisticated arguments this poster has put forth to prove the dominance of one company over another.

i am now fully convinced, thanks to this brilliant piece of writing, that "intels sux anyways".

by taking a look at that argument, I can see that intel sucks, but durons sometimes suck too.

does this mean that cyrix owns?

Rass, you have a massive school-girlequse pony tail happening mate.

my respect to you!

Hell yeah...Cyrix 0wnZ y0u...ummmm no...

I personally like Intel and AMD equally as they both have their good and bad points...and its funny how MoNk{LAH} says 'Intel sux' then goes on to say how much of a lemon his duron is...go figure...

Burn.

LoL true....true!! i was gona say that

i personaly prefer AMD but have found intel to be a more stable platform for people that have a small knolage of computers so when i tell someone to buy a system or sell a system i tell them to go with the intel unless i know they have a middle to high level of computer knowlage in that case i sell them a AMD t-bird AXIA with a big MoFo cooler

haha J/K
