AMD is and has been the bang for the buck company for a long time. Just buy the best processor you can afford.

ya, i guess. im just not happy with my freands 2 ghz athlon. i mean it is in a compaqe but idk. theres somethign about them i sdont like.

The processors do the same job. They have equal quality. Almost 100% of the processors work flawlessly when bought new. I've never encountered a 'fritzy' processor. AMD always tends towards better gaming performance and equal to near equal application performance. That's because they tend to be modest with thier processor rating. Remember, a 2.0ghz Athlon can do the same work as a 3.2ghz P4 or 3.7 ghz P4.

hrmm well since ur not playing games i say u go for the p4, they use thsoe at my school and at my work, and they work flawlessly with applications like photoshop, my work computer takes alot of multitasking stress and a 3.0ghz p4 seems to run just fine.. unlike my amd 3500..... don't get me wrong, i love my processor, but it just doesnt do me as well when multitasking as i had hoped for

If your going to multi task, I strongly recommend an Intel CPU, even though they are a bit pricey.

 

[mike4realz]

since you are multitasking, go for the Pentium D. people here would actually recommend the Athlon X2's cuz they're the best processor on the market and has better multitasking capabilities but just got for the Pentium D. people with athlon processors are usually gamers

as for single processor, go for the P4 with hyper-threading
