Has anyone tried a P4/Asus system with Pulsar yet? The prices are coming down, and it looks interesting...on paper at least!

Subject: what do you find interesting on p4?
what do you find interesting on p4? the chipset? the dual-pumped ALU? what?
it´s only benefit is the ability to braek through the 2GHz-border - well, the athlon (palomino) also will, but will perform a lot better. so why the crippled willamette?

Mo
p.s. my favorite at the moment is the via kt266 - but i´ll see, if it´s as good as i expect. perhaps that nvidia chipset with amd´s LDT specs will 'crush' the scene (;
i don´t believe the p4 has the ability to perform far better than actual available computers.

Subject: Whynot P4!
Mo,
Yes, the Athlon is cool, but that benefit is not realised because of the chipset compatibility issues with Pulsar. I would imagine the 850 set has the same PCI operation as the 815...or at least hope so. I've come to appreciate the merits of high memory bandwidth from the SSIII chipset in my Tyan board. So, with the high clock speed, high memory bandwidth, compatibility, and good (hopefully) PCI usage....what's not to like? The price has dropped to something affordable.

Subject: P4???
Forget about the technical specification on the P4, I'm having them all (athlon-1Ghz, P3-933Mhz and P4-1.4Ghz (intel Mobo)).
Here is a little informs with pulsar/scope: They all work same, likely the Athlon works best (faster), the P3 is more reliable and P4 is un-stable...Might be other P4 mobo could works better???
Good luck
