AW: [vorbis] Are AMDs preferable? [was: Choosing a processor]

[Burgwedel Friedrich]

Hi Joane,

I think AMDs are 'preferable' of cost/'performance unit'. For standard
applications you will have to compare a Duron-900 to a P-III-933; and AMDs
will perform much better when it comes to number crunching. And now -- have
a look at the prices...!

I wouldn't buy any Intel chip today... this may be a 'European' habit, but I
think it isn't / shouldn't be.

So long
Friedrich

PS: When ripping/encoding at multi-speed, you cannot listen to the CD -- the
CD-ROM drive will be to slow to step between the to reading positions. But
there is no problem with listening/ripping/encoding at single speed (or
faster, if you prefer... ;).
