ebus dk knows what he is talking about.
I have both an amd and a p4 and man, the amd beats the p4 hands down. Both are running 512ddr.. xp 2000 and a p4 2.4ghz.
the p4 literally CRAWLS compared to the athlon (ok, so I am exaggerating a little bit - but not much!)... and yes, I spent the $$ and bought good quality shit...
It's simply the cpou architecture I think. The amd is so simple and that makes it surpass the pentiums.. the pentiums NEED all that cache to just stay competitive.
Yes, the latest benchmarks show the latest P4's beat out the amd - true. BUt how long till nforce2 comes out? and not much after that the clawhammer comes out...
