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?


A Pentium 4 2 ghz is around $156. Compare it to an
AMD processor around $156, which is the
Athlon XP2800+ 333. I say go for the XP2800+ 333.
If you want to compare an XP1800+($51) to an
Intel processor, compare it to the Celeron 1.7 ghz($55).
The XP1800+ looks like it is a far superior performer in
most software.




Thanks in advance.

Gary Hendricks
