AMD Athlon pretty much runs at same speed as p4's, perhaps a lil bit slower, but keep in mind your spending about 50-100 less for a proc that supposidly is the same speed. so who can complain.
lets put it this way
AT LEAST ITS NOT A CELERON!

errm marketing of those athlon 64's is shot to shit....
plus the new p4 extremes with HT is gonna pwn them so bad...
i think amd made their first mistake jumping in to the 64 bit platform too early. no apps will be using 64 bit for a while to come, other then servers. Which P4's are better for anyways.
raah
just my 2 cents. no one can say for sure...
one thing that is for sure is... NVIDIA is going down.. ATI has it made. only thing nvidia is going to be able to hang on to are the nforce boards.

haha people are finally realizing that NVIDIA is a great marketing company. Look back a few years, 3dfx vs NVIDIA. 3dfx had better products, better performance, NVIDIA killed 'em in marketing and destroyed 3dfx allowing them to be the only guys in the segment. Now that ATI has stepped up to the plate, NVIDIA actually has a real competitor, with real marketing dollars, and consumers are finally realizing the truth. The last few years sucked with only NVIDIA in the spotlight.Originally posted by Spooned

For best price/performance, amd is what you want.
Motherboard selection(chipset/memory config) can often be more of a factor nowadays than processor speed.
And of course tuning it all on top of that.

Rightly so!!Originally posted by 403Gemini
