AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the choice between upgrading to LGA 775 (socket T) or sticking with the older socket 478 for a computer build. A user found a cheaper P4 processor for socket T but is facing compatibility issues with a proprietary Dell motherboard and an In-Win case. The debate highlights the advantages of opting for newer technology, such as LGA 775, which is considered more future-proof compared to the older socket 478. However, there are concerns about the stability of the latest components, as they often undergo revisions and may have initial hardware or software issues. The conversation also touches on the cost differences between Intel and AMD processors, with some suggesting that good AMD options can be pricier than Pentium 4 Prescott processors. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards selecting stabilized parts for a more reliable upgrade experience, especially given the user's upgrade cycle of every 3-4 years.

After almost purchasing a motherboard and processor for socket 478 I found a p4 processor for socket T that was cheaper than a p4 processor for socket 478. The thing is I have this proprietary dell motherboard which I now can't get to work with my in-win case. So simply put should I go with the lga 775 stuff since it is newer and is the future, or with the socket 478 stuff which has been around for sometime?

Why Intel? Why not AMD?

When I upgrade every 3-4 years I basically get a new everything. I have found that upgrading parts any sooner is a waste of time and money.

My advice is to get stabilized parts. The lastest and greatest almost always has problems (hardware or software) and goes through a bunch of revisions .
 
Yea but the good amd processors are much more expensive when compared to a pentium 4 prescott.
 
Um, where do you shop? What speed are you looking for?

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
