dont get me wrong i LOVE amd but i would buy a P4 before i would buy a athlon XP but if i ahd the money i would get a 64 bit over ANYTHING and here is a pretty good link it shows the perofrmance of all kinds of chips using UNREAL TOURNEMNT 2004CLICK HEREas you can see pentium 4 CRUSH athlon xp's but dont get me wrong i LOVE AMD but i would rather get a P4 than an athlon XP.. now if i had the money to buy a top of the line gaming processor like a fx-53 or a 3800 64bit or a 3.4 extreme edition.... there is no way i would buy INTEL.
 
In order of WORST to BEST:

Athlon XP series

Pentium 4 2.5-3.0GHz and up

Pentium 4 3.1GHz and up

AMD Athlon 64 (any)

Intel EE P-4

AMD FX-53 series

and no that isnt a bias opinion people.
 
ya sure a 3.2C is faster than a 3200+ but if you bring price into it, the 3200+ dominates

P4 3.2C
279$ + 119$(cheapest mobo i could find, i875P chipset)= 398$

XP3200+
187$ + 90$(middle of the road, Nf7-S)=277$

400-275=125$ cheaper

the P4 is 30% more expensive....and it DEFINITELY doesn't put out 30% more power than a 3200+

but yes, the P4>XP for power :(

(for 400$ you could get a A64 3200+ and a mobo which is >P4)
