3. As do I
I'm running an Athlon at 1.4, the Pentiums I use at work run at 2.8, and they're half the speed of my Athlon, if not slower, at Photoshop, and they hang like crazy when printing. I hate them.

4. Are you sure you're not my husband?
LOL! He says the very same thing, only he calls it "bottlenecking".

I have found a computer soul-mate for him! :)

8. AMD
I considered nothing else when I ordered LeftyDad's new box. It runs rings around my computer, which is Intel based (because I didn't buy it.)

best processor.

Not being a geek, I wouldn't know how to vote on the latter.

So, having a Pentium III and wishing it was at least a Pentium IV(simply because it sounds newer, and presumably better in *some* incomprehensible - to me - way) I voted for Pentium IV.

22. I don't have a processor...
I personally edit each pixel on my screen each
refresh... Sure, it keeps me busy, but, I'm a perfectionist.

I also type out each network data packet.

(No... I've got a Mips 4500.)

GEEK!
