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.

If the primary use is digital video editing the P4 2GHz probably has a
slight edge due to the use of SSE2 instructions.
