>I would choose the missing one: Athlon 1GHz :) I also would pick the AMD chip, I didn't mention it because they seem to be nonexistant in preconfigured systems I have seen in PCworld (last 2 issues, new subscriber). I specifically mean the Gateway and Dell advertisement pages, which are the companies I would like to buy from. >Of P3 and Celeron, the P3 should be faster. The P4 will blow at 1GHz. If it blows, that's a bad thing, right? Within this posted question i have learned that the P4 would actually be worse for a chess program than a P3. >>If there is a difference for >>chess programs, how much slower will the Celeron be than the P4, assuming the >>same processor speed? > >The Celeron will be _faster_ at the same clockspeed. So it sounds like the best bet is to buy the Athlon chip. The second best thing is to pick a P3 over the P4. Well, that will save a few bucks, won't it? Thanks a lot.
