    I agree with xmaddness (with balance). However, I think a computer can only be as fast as its slowest component. I run AMD, it seems that AMD just makes a good gaming CPU, along with the right hardware. However, when it comes to prices AMD defiantly has the market.

    Depending on type of RAM used, etc. I'd go for a Pentium 4. Until a couple of weeks ago, I'd have said Athlon, but I've found the P4 at equivalent speeds can actually be *cheaper* when motherboard, cpu and correct type of RAM are all considered!

    personally i prefer the Athlon, its cheaper and runs things for me faster and smoother but i think it is each to there own as shown by others it depends what you like to use and how you set your own system up, mine is rubbish but the processer is the best part of a system that is lagging behind the new stuff thats coming out!

    And where, might I ask, do you shop? Not at pricewatch or the other 'cheap sites'..

    BTW- AMD is my answer, they make better use of each clock cycle. They get more done with less.

    It's pretty much common knowledge that the Athlon runs circles around Intel. After that it just comes down to user preference and cost. And about 99% of the time Athlon wins the cost category too. But then there's user preference.

    Athlon is cheaper but buy a bigger heatsink and cpu fan.
    Listen closely to your enemies. They tell you your faults.

    Hey whats`s going on guys .... Now for the question at hand the main difference between the Athlon & the Pentium is that the Pentium runs a bit cooler so it is easer to overclock so if your not planning to overclock you chip get a athlon if you are planning to overclock you chip get a pentium or better yet a AMD
