True, but i got my MCSE paid for by the cpmpanir by working my way up as a hardware engineer for many many years (Right back to the days off SIPPs for ram chips) and i have yet to find anything atabler than a good Wintel Dual SMP system (Except a Dual Linux Intel system) for home use...ive tried the AMDs, there more trouble to me than there worth, i need my systems to be there ready for things other than gaming 24/7, and i can`t afford to have a machine suddenly not work for day because the AMD chip and motherboard have decided to take a holidy (Happened with my k6-2 and not so long ago an atahlon...I think its more down to the Motherboard than the CPU..) The fact that you use your MCSE to backup arguments > about SMP's, Motherboards and such is really quite sad. It's sorta like > using an MBA to back up your claims that the world is not flat. Its not....damn ive been avoiding saling all these years incase i fell off the edge If you want > to talk about your hardware go get your Aplus, or at least break open a few > power supplies and try and ground the capacitors with your finger ;). > Nearly done that once...not funny at all...blow up several monitors doing stuff like that too > Anyway, congrats on your MCSE, and I hope you find high paying jobs with it. > Don`t need it to get a job, just a formality so they can shunt me from hardware to admin....they, thats the big "THEY" like to see there admins names on bits of paper on the wall to impress lesser mortals...
