You're a rather rude Young Teck, I think.

Do you actually know the difference between an Athlon XP processor and an Athlon64 processor?

woot I have a 9600Xt yaay, BTW my AMd 64 3400+ is in!!! now I just need to wait for my ram to come in WOOT!

im pretty sure the 64 stands for 64 bit wich is the best and most expensive type of processor you can get.

well yeah it stand for 64-bit but most expensive, not really P4 extreme edition sells for $900-$1000

and best maybe for games, p4 with HT is the beter one for multi-tasking.

Not quite right. More RAM is the thing which improves multi-tasking, not really the processor at all.

The hyper-threading (simulation of dual-processors) of the more recent Pentium 4 processors is of benefit only to those types of software application which are written to make use of it. Very demanding tasks like real-time video editing and the serving of huge amounts of data from a database for example. The type of computing tasks most commonly associated with Workstation computers rather than desktop computers. Everyday computing applications and PC games make no use of the feature at all.

The price of Intel P4 Extreme Editions just makes me wanna cry

Especially when their performance doesn't really exceed that of their much cheaper Athlon64 conterparts

Yea true, I need a new video card, for this darned The Sims 2 game. Whenever I try and install the game, it doesnt autorun and it doesnt manually Run >> D:/RUN either. Stupid thing.

I suggest you drop that belief ASAP - it's quite outdated! In fact, you've got it the wrong way round. Intel's P4/Prescott is good for media and AMD's A64 is good for gaming!

Still don't believe us? Then it's time to whip out the proof.

Doom 3? AMD.

Variety of Directx 8 gaming applications.........AMD!

Another gaming comparison......guess who? AMD!

Getting a bit predictable isn't it?

I would get the highest rated one, but its too expensive, I could buy a whole new PC with that much money.
