Title: what is the difference
Post by: Autumn hill on October 06, 2004, 11:06:33 AM

What is the difference between a Anthlon XP3200 + and a Pentium 4.  I am trying to buy a new computer and I do not know which one to get.

AMD runs hotter but may cost less.

If I were you, I'd go for Intel ..

Intel Pentium 4 processor (http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/processors/pentium4/)

AMD Athlon™ XP Product Information (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_3734_11672,00.html)

Use these pages to compare them.

Both are so fast, you'll never notice the difference.  Other things are more important, especially memory (get at least 512MB), and hard drive speed (look for 7200rpm).
