and if you think this is good for a system, just know that any P4 is easily beaten in speed by the PIII systems !
example:
CPU : Real PIII 550mhz
RAM : same as above
VIDEO : same as above
in speed that system beats my P4, i know tested at optimal performance by 3D MARK 2001 and it does about 1000 points better then me !
morality : don't buy P4 by AMD for now !
other example:
a friend of mine who keeps his computer always in touch sent me a photo of 3D mark 2003 comparing his AMD to a P4....
the results...
the amd 2000+ under clocked at 1.7ghz with same deal of memory, video and all specs identical except CPU and MOTHERBOARD, nothing onboard ! he easily got pass the P4 3ghz by over 1000 points !
SEE P4 doesn't stand to AMD right now !
don't buy those if you're gonna update, don't do the same mistake i did !
do not go for cheaper product as well, they aren't the best and will most liky get your computer speed down a notch !
that's all folks ![/quote]
the P4 has always sucked compared to AMD...the 1.7 was one of there biggest mistakes cause a 1.1ghz "duron" out does it...ppl just think that since it's "pentium" it's better but no. sure they have a 800FSB but amd is DDR and it's only 400(they have a 2ghz FSB but for servers, hopfully soon to be desktop with the 64bit athlon...pentium server cpu only for 533 as far as i remember..who know i don't like intel) right now but it still competes with it and even out does it on certain occasions.
