Default Please convince me to stick to AMD

om...
I plan to do alot of video work (mostly encoding) and want to upgrade
my 700mhz TBird. I've been a supporter of AMD the underdog for quite
some time now. However, my research on CPU benchmarks shows that the
P4 (with its SSE) smokes even the Opteron when it comes to encoding.

Please, please convince me that I should stay with AMD. Thanks.




Athlon XPs support SSE. The Opteron supports both SSE and SSE2. Same
performance for a lower price. It's a no-brainer.
