Unless you intend on doing a lot of computationally-intensive tasks like
MP3 encoding, video encoding and using CAD applications, there's simply
NO REASON to purchase a P4 when an Athlon XP/64 at half the price and
speed will outperform it in almost every respect. I've recently assembled
a really nice gaming rig on the A64+KT800 architecture and it has yet to
let me down... Farcry runs like a dream and Windows XP loads in 10 secs...
