1st of All - I'm not having a go at you Sazar
Wot I'm saying Sazar is that the P4's even are a better chip than the AMD equivalent. In todays world there are not many ppl that will Only play a game, Only download or Only write cd's. You'll generally find that most ppl will want to do all these things at the same time which is where they will find the difference. The AMD is fine and will run most things better than the P4 with the larger FSB this is expected, this means that there is a larger pipe for the info, BUT the P4 dispite having a smaller pipe it has 4 of them, which allows multiple progs to run simultaneously with hardly any probs. Now funnily enough my brother has the same chip as you he's got 512mb DDR2100, GF2/GTS and 1900+ and it is much quicker than my P4 2.0g but when I started to write a CD whilst D/Ling it started to go for cigarette breaks, I tried to open MSWord and the PC went for a COFFEE. I'm sure that somebody had replaced his chip with a P2 166. Now I on the other hand am currently burning a CD, Pink Floyd - DSOTM, D/ling and Im also using MSWord and I can still open CMRC2 and play it, No Probs
Don't get me wrong I have just bought my 6yr old a AMD+ chip for his christmas because they are cheeper than Intel and do more or less the same, If he shows me he can look after it next year he can have an Intel.
