:EDIT:never mind i found the price hmm its strange that the P4 and AMD athlon xp 2400 are both 2GHZ yet they are still both $199 isnt AMD usually cheaper when compared to intel?oh well it dont matter since i found a price ill get the athlon 2400 i heard AMD is better then intel
um... you should probably learn a little bit more about what you are putting into your uber system perhaps before you start throwing it together mate...
there are massive differences in architecture and the way the 2 processors work as well as stuff concernnig heatsinks and what not...
you are SURE you want to build this whole thing yourself? you want to put some of the best stuff into your own little machine yet you don't know much about what you are putting in there... I just hope you don't blow it up... (touchwood that will not happen)
but take some time to go around some websites and look at the fundamental differences between the different heatsinks... whether you will NEED to get a massive heatsink... whether you want a pentium or an AMD... though it seems with your motherboard you have selected AMD...
neither is better or worse than the other... it all depends what you look at... intel makes a fine product and amd makes a fine product.... both have advantages over the other and drawbacks...
but like I said please make sure you have some understanding of the workings of what you are putting into your rig in order to get your money's worth..
