omg another AMD v. P4 ... the dude stated he wanted an AMD 64 system so leave it at that, whether he makes a mistake or a good decision is his problem so stop trying to convince him to go pentium or AMD when he clearly said he wants an AMD. imo either chip will be fine for whatever u do, both will be fine in games and both will be fine in other apps so stop the Noobing and try to offer some Proper advice
