I'm with the AMD crowd. While the P4 is 2.8 GH and the AMD is about 2.2 gh that's deceiving. The model number is roughly a guide to what Intel chip it's comparable to so the 3400 is more a match for a 3.4 GH. The architecture for both chips is very different meaning that AMD can toast the P4 in gaming. Take a look at the front Side Bus for each. For a P4 I think it's around 800 mhz, for the Athlon it should be about 2000 MH. Malevolent

If you were using the computer for multi-tasking, then the Intel, with the hyperthreading, might be preferable.

But boy, I'd give an arm for an Athlon 64FX!

I'm on a Sempron 3400 myself...A S939 Sempron with a FSB of 2000mhz. Something I never knew existed before we bought this computer.
