I´d pick any AMD over any Pentium, any day!! <BR>Why?! <BR>AMDs are faster and cheaper than the crappy Pentiums PERIODE!!! :) :) <BR> <BR>And the GeForce4... check the spec/price against a geForce3 first! Some of the "old" GeForce3s are actually better/faster/cheaper than the new GeForce4s!! <BR>But I would go for the GeForce if I had to choose! :) <BR> <BR>And BruB: TEDDY!!!!!!!!!!! ๐ ๐ ;)
According to my hardware nerd friends, Athlons have superior bit crushing capabilities than Pentiums. So Athlons are better suited for pure number crunching. On the other hand, a lot of sofrware is optimised for the Pentium (Photoshop comes to mind). But then again, Athlons are way cheaper.
