Yes, you should see better performance.
As to your poll question: In this box, AMD. But I've had Intel systems in the past, and wouldn't be surprised if I had one again in the future. Last edited by bigandy; 06-15-2004 at 03:25 AM. |

My daughter's 2500+ Athlon XP performs and benchmarks in the same range as my P4 2.4b system. Her's is not quite up to my P4 2.4c system with HT and Dual Channel. You should see a dramatic, noticeable performance increase over a Celeron.

That poor Celeron doesn't stand a chance. Maybe it's time I replaced my 1.8 Celeron with a 2.8C P4

Heh, cyrix isnt to terribly awful. Ive build a few Epia box's and they run extremely well as far as basic computing and uses Veeeerrrryyy little power.

The Cyrix/VIA chips are the choice among modders right now, because they come with such tiny motherboards.

He doesn't like Asus, HiHo - because his local shops don't carry them. Probably can't make enough money selling them.

Oh yes, I remember. Anyway, didn't he say that they have Gygabyte boards? I'd say that would be a better bet.

As for the differences, PC Mech has a rich history in threads about this. I'd recommend vieweing the AMD AthlonXP vs. Intel P4 chart difference that might help with your decision. Both of them are good - no disadvantage going one over the other. Hope that helps, kram |

Thanks
OK, that chart doesn't mean a lot to me - as i said, very new to this. Should I understand it? Would one be better than the other for a specific use? I'm thinking a machine dedicate to game play .
