Which is better: AMD Athlon XP 1800+ or Intel Pentium 2 GHz?
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 http://www.build-your-own-computers.com |

Well, I don't think you can find an Intel Pentium 4 2 GHz any more, and if
you could, you wouldn't want it. That's the non-northwood version with the 0.18 micrometer feature, size, the higher core voltage, and the small L2 cache. It would have extremely limited overclocking potential. The Northwood version is the Pentium 4 2A GHz. A Pentium 4 2A GHz is three times the price of an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ ($150 US vs. $50 US). BUT, for just $170 US you can get a Pentium 4 2.4 C GHz with a 800 MHz FrontSideBus, hyperthreading, and good potential to easily overclock above 3 GHz. That's just a bit cheaper than the AMD Athlon XP +2800. It all depends on your requirements and what you enjoy. Phil Weldon, "Timberwolf" wrote in message ...
