Ridlyn said:No the P4-Athlon 64 difference is bigger. Conroes are only like 1.33times more efficient then the athlon 64's.
Don't you think I know that? I'm the one who created that ratio, buddy.
But you could get a 2.0Ghz Athlon 64 and a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 for the same price. The Price/Performance ratio was roughly the same. Its not the same with the Conroe.
A 1.86Ghz Conroe costs $183 while a comparable A64 X2 4800+ costs $620+.
See my point? If you get a $620+ Conroe, it will rape the X2 4800+ like all 'heck'.

1.33 times better means 33% better, not 3%.
