The P4 is a power house.

AMD 2500 has less GFLOPS(the horse power of the processor)

AMD AthlonXP Thouroughbred 2500+ (1.8ghz) is equal speed to the Pentium4 2.52ghz

AMD AthlonXP Barton 2500+ (1.85ghz) is equal speed to the Pentium4 2.52ghz HT

AMD Athlon64 2800+ (1.6ghz) is faster than all of them

The Althon64 3200+ (2.0ghz) was recently released and that processor now sets the standard for the fatest on the market, even surpassing the Athlon64 FX-51.

if you want to go price for price though, you can pickup an AthlonXP 3200+ for less than you can get a Pentium4 2.52Ghz Standard
and that processor is capable of keeping up with the P4 3.0ghz HT.

Upto you what you choose though, think about it's all down to which you prefer; as they both are on the same power length.

Hu??? Sorry im confused


I have a choice between these two computers

This is all the information I was giving im just suppose to make a sugestion for some friends

They can get this for like $900

P4 2.5
256 DDRRam
80 GB Hard Drive
CD/RW
Black Case
Mouse/Keyboard/Speakers
XP-Home
(No monitor)

Or this for like $475
AMD 2500
512 Ram
Black Case
(No monitor)
CDRW/DVD Combo Drive + $99
80 GB Hard Drive + $119

I think the prices might be off but it was some thing like that and they both needed graphics cards but we already got those picked out.

Go with the second one, with both the lower additions to price you're still saving almost half a thousand in value

Divide i'd suggest you checkout the benchmarks done over at Futuremark of the AthlonXP-64 3200+ ... the Pentium4 3.2Ghz EE is not just whooped, it's beaten by a clear and comfortable 20% margin.

What surprised me was in some cases the AthlonXP-64 actually outperformed the Athlon64 FX-51 in some cases. Which shocked me
