Well consider this: everything is better than P4 for anything except video
editing etc. And Athlon is better than anything for anything except video
editing. So guess what is the best buy? And the new ASUS A7V133 motherboard
using VIA's new chipset (DDR compatible, though not necessary) is both fast and
stable so go for it! Well, I'll go anyway... And besides that Athlons are a lot
cheaper than Pentiums so no need to think the Intel option.
