Something not commonly known about the AMD's are that 1800 does NOT mean 1.8
Ghz, I have a 1700+ and it runs at max 1.44Ghz. an AMD 1.4 could outmatch a
P41.4, however I think your better off going with the P4 2... I have heard
some bad stuff about bottle necking with the pentiums though, maybe
corrected? I bought a computer a while ago...

Hi there

I'm creating a new PC - I'd like to find out which
CPU will give better performance in a PC used for
digital video editing:

An AMD Athlon XP 1800+ or an Intel Pentium 2GHz?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Gary Hendricks
