128417 2003-03-15 22:20:00 Would the Athlon XP 2400 cpu be faster and cheaper than the P4 2.4 GHz? Boosted (3105)
128418 2003-03-15 22:25:00 Yes and Yes
It will be considerably cheaper and in general slightly faster.

128420 2003-03-16 00:00:00 Have a look at [url=http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/20020506/index.html]this particular comparison between AMD and Intel across a variety of tests.

Looking at the results, the P4 2.4Ghz beats the XP2400+ across several benchmarks.

But then, I've always been biased towards Intel... ;)

128422 2003-03-16 00:26:00 2x yes AMD offers better gaming value fast runs hotter requires a bit if tweaking to optimise , noisy fans needed if over clocking
Intel is the industry standard and you pay for the name runs cooler and has better memory bandwidth great for ripping intensive multi tasks but very expensive great for business purposes tax write offs etc
