AMD all the way. They're 1.4 ghz t-bird BEATS the P4 1.7ghz in benchmarks... what else can I say?

Hi Rooster,
I'm sure Skuzzy will correct me if I'm wrong but as I see it the main problem with the P4 at present is the fact it is a "Stop Gap" design. The next generation of P4's will probably not be compatable with the current crop. I always understood that Intel P3's generally have better chipset support than the current AMD range but again by current trends limited shelf life in todays market. I run an AMD Athlon 1GHZ and I am more than happy.

Hope this helps
Skuzzy Comments?
