Intel and AMD have leapfrogged each other sometimes. I've looked at benchmarks and reviews over the years, and I distinctly remember
reading something around 2000 or 2001 saying AMD's Athlon was matching
or exceeding what Intel had at the time. Also, it seemed that AMD was always more about bang for the buck - They might not always perform
like Intel CPUs, but supposedly there was more value for your money
with AMD.

I did buy AMD back in those days, when the Athlon was considered the better CPU, but I was unimpressed. And I actually had to underclock my Athlon for stability. Even the dodgy early P4 outperformed it in the
real world.

I've been using only Intel now for the last 7 years or so though, as I think Intel has the better processors these days.

I've used Intel for at least the last 10 years.

... An idea is a curious thing. It won't work unless you do.

Propagation is poor in these days, are hard days :-)
At least here in Europe, don't know there on the other part of the world.
Not only there people still using bbs and exchanging messages on it, but i also found ham radio operators, this is incredible combination :-)
I looked at your profile on qrz.com, you are very active.

See you... i hope to meet you also on the air, would be a good dx in any case.

Cool, digital DX. :D I'm only using a few thousand VLF, LF, MF and HF carriers down a piece of copper to over the road, then an upconversion to IR down a piece of glass from there. :D

Yeah, more in the literal than ham radio sense these days. I tend to spend more time in sport. :D

Probably most likely on IRLP, Echolink or DMR. :)
