Yeah in essence. If you're used to Intel numbers that's the best way to view it.So, the AMD(3200 for example) is 2.2 GHz, BUT that number doesn't really mean much because its so efficant that its the equivilent of a 3.2GHz P4, am I correct?

That's a bench of my AMD XP-Mobile at 2.7GHz as you can see it gives that 3.8GHz Intel a run for it's money.
Mind you the new AMD64 bit CPU's at 2.2GHz would be equivelant to higher Intels like DJ-Chris is saying, those are like 3400+ and whatnot. There are 2800+ and 3000+ AMD64's and they are like 1.8GHz and whatnot.
Nah not at all, I'm talking like really CPU intensive apps not just windows openSometimes I tend to let my windows build up, and let things run at the same time, will the AMD be slow for things like this?
Don't say that you're 'stupid' though, everyone will seem stupid when they don't know something.
My first post here was just last august and I didn't know how to buy a PSU or even how people hooked up multiple fans and whatnot, we all gotta start somewhere.
