WHICH MEANS: A P4 2.4Ghz is faster by about 10% than an AMD 1.73Ghz CPU. And remember, Intel announced the P4 2.53Ghz today. I had the oppurtunity to "play" on a P4 2.4Ghz machine this weekend, and I am sorry to report, Pentium is winning. People just haven't realized it yet. These new Pentiums are NICE. For general "productivty" such as internet, music, videos, these P4 are a LOT faster than my XP2100+. And yes, the 2.4Ghz benches Crafty bout 8% faster than my 1.73Ghz. Overclocking is another story all together. But I don't overclock, and most people, don't overclock.
