AMD vs. Intel, Intel wins everytime they are faster than amd. Somewhere on the net is a info where they actually did runtime tests and p4 had better performance.

I have an amd and a p4 and my p4 2.4 ghz is almost as fast as my amd 3400+ with more ram and better video card.

That is compleatly a biased benchmark then. I will not come out and claim an all holy winner, AMD is faster at certain processes and P4 is faster at certain. Please do some research before claiming there is proof. Generaly speaking P4 compresses movies and songs better amd games better.

Please review the following.

You got in the mark, P4's are only some what better at a few things, otherwise AMD's are cheaper and as far as i can tell working around them alll day, there faster and better.

Also with Hp's.. I have heard more problems with them compared to toshiba.. I might loo at getting one of those.. but they dont offer exactly what i want..
