Well lets hear what kind of Processors you use eh?
I personally use the new Intel LGA 775 Pentium D 3.2GHz EXTREME EDITION, I got it for my birthday last week and it is a killer Processors. As for the price, it will come down as time goes by. I have used one of the new AMD 64 bit X2 Dual-Core and well I have always had some kinds of problems with AMD. Sometime the motherboard, or the processor itself. |

You don't have options for any of the PowerPC processors.
 But in my custombuilt PC, I have an AMD Sempron (socket 754). On the PowerPC side of things, I have computers using the PowerPC G3. Used to have one with the PowerPC 603e, but the power supply got fried by lightning, and it was too old to bother replacing. I also have a computer with the old Motorola 68030 processor. (Also, as a side note: the Centrino is not really a processor, but an entire system of processor, motherboard, and wireless network adapter. Centrino-based computers normally use the Pentium M as their processor.) |

Centrino. Because I'm using a laptop.
I had a P4 before but it's very hot |

Ya that is true mipadi. I read up on Centrino and well gave up, it just too out there, they have changed almost everything. Its like a 1.8 ghz Centrino is as good as a 2.8 P4. It got way too confusing for me. Ill stick with my Acer that came with the P4 3.2 HT in it. Even though Centrino has nice battery life.
I have a Dell with Pentium M in it, but its more on the mobility side, not made for what I use a Desktop or a Laptop for. It's there for when I need it on long trips to watch DVDs and such. |

Yeah, the Pentium M is designed to be as powerful as the Pentium 4, but run at a lower clock speed in order to save power and generate less heat. The M is basically a redesigned Pentium III, modified to make it compatible with Pentium 4 technologies (notably a compatible bus interface). Yet another example of why clock speed is not a good basis of comparison for processors.

Yeah, I pointed out the lack of PowerPC options; I think the poll is intended to collected data on processors commonly used in PC's, though.

No one else uses AMD's? That's kind of surprising.
