P4 3.4EE is Intels fastest lets use AMDs fastest, the FX-53 not the 51.
Also the FX has support for 64-bit software, Windows XP 64-bit comes out in 2 months. The P4 won't even run it.

the bench I have is intel 3.2 vs amd 2.2. and they threw an athlon 2200 on just for fun. oh, ut2k4 has a 64bit version available i believe. oh, and another thing--hyvry, intel *does* make 64 bit cpus, you just dont hear much about em. i dont remember if the xeon is 64bit off the top of my head, think the itanium is 64bit though. |

The Intel ones cost soooooo much. The Itanium is 64-bit.
Yes there is a 64-bit UT, but that was a test version and not retail. Expect retail 64-bit games end of this year/beginning next year.
The 53 is 2.4GHz.

The AMD 64bit runs far far faster than a P4 even in 32bit mode....
But its really not worth getting one until a 64bit Windows has been released...

Yep, in 2 months time Windows XP 64-bit will come out.
I still won't touch one until 64-bit games come out (to the public), but if it was a choice between the FX-53 and the P4 3.4EE i would take the FX-53.

This is what I was wondering about... do I get £200 for a nice ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe with an AMD Athlon XP3200 400FSB 512 Cache Barton, or save up more like £300-£400 for an AMD 64bit mobo and proccessor?

save up for the Athlon 64. Definitely. You'll be thanking yourself once more 64bit programs are available. anyway.....I got my own hosting now. Anyone needs space lemmy know, but I only have 1 GB banwidth monthly.  oops, just noticed its a p4c, not p4ee. oops. still nice scores though, specially since you said the ee ran worse. |

I have info to why the P4 has a 200fsb in the tests. It is because it does have a 200fsb and the P4 quad pumps it to 800fsb, rather like what AMD does and did, now Intel have decided to use it.
