What do you all think? Is a 2.25 GHz P4 worth $150 more than a Athlon XP 2100?
 
Pentium. The 2100 is just a 1.7ghz thats been revved up. Know a few people who have had theres burn up. All depends on what you do on your system.
 
Wait until the next generations of AMD processors. They are going to fly.
 
I like AMD's. I've had great luck with them. I noticed significantly less freezes than with Pentium computers.
 
Depends on what you are doing...

The average consumer can get by fine with high end P3 chip and decent ram... load that processor all you want, but if you don't have the online speed, ram and video memory... you can have a P9 (Yet to be invinted ;)) and it is pretty much so what...

Then do it... go for the latest P4 or Athlon chip... if price drives you, but whatever is cheapest. In the end, the personal computer user typically would never be able to tell the difference in speed of a comp P4/Athlon...

I've been running an AMD K6-2 400mhz for 5 years now. I've upgraded with RAM, hard drives, cd-roms, video cards, sound cards....and you know what...It's faster than the 700something Pentium that I use everyday at work.
