Can I have your opinion please!

What computer do you think is better? A Intel based PC, a AMD based PC or Cyrix?

random question:

Does AMD Athlon (not 64, just regular) really perform THAT much better than AMD Sempron?

Same for Intel Pentium 4 vs. Pentium Celeron.

my desktop has Sempron and my laptop has Celeron. both seem to work just as well, if not smoother, than my friend's P4 and my other friend's Athlon.

i was just wondering, because sometimes it can make a great price difference when buying. =)

What do you think of it ? I did today, after I get my data extracted from my Ibook. I decided to pass on the MacBook/MacBook Pro, due to the memory capacity of 60MG vs. the Imac's 160 MG. It has a 17" screen and pretty cool. I'm getting used to it myself. Sx years ago, I got an Imac that has OS 9.

Really I'd like to know what the dangerous high end range is for all processors -- Is there a general tempurture that can be considered dangerous for all (most) processors -- or do the different processors, have different threshholds to how much heat they can withstand?

I'll be logged off and I can see my drive lights flashing and sounding like it is running like crazy. Does this mean I have a virus or spyware.

Someone told me you can take out the cdrom and put the new hd in the slot and copy all the old hd info over to the new hd with a cable. Is it really that simple? Will Windows XP and everything come over from the old hd? That just does not seem possible.

It's about 2 years old, just noticed the smell this week, smell it even when it's off. Smells like paint fumes or something.
