| My personal preference would be to go with the P4, as this is actually the fastest processor (AMD's tend not to run as fast as their spec) however, the AMD is 64 bit and will therefore take advantage of multi threading if you have a tendancy to use any CPU intensive applications designed for this (such as photoshop!). There are many applications that will be being designed for 64 bit CPU's and therefore its a good choice (also gaming will be designed for 64bit very soon). Only certain P4's have the 64 bit capability...
Oh and windows will be 64 bit compliant very soon! So go with the AMD...
Good luck... |
