Not that I like Intel, but I'm sure a P4 3.8 could hit 4ghz on air....

Well of course it can. It has to do with a little something called IPC.. Learn it before you post. ;)

Well OP said take that Intel, and my point was that an Intel can smoke any AMD in clock speed. Now as for Instructions per cycle AMD will take the cake...

I think op was referring to general performance not ipc or clock cycles. a amd64 at 4ghz is something equal to something like a 7.6ghz p4 in gAMES.

At first glance it appears to be a poor photoshop job... otherwise it probably crashes as soon as you try to check e-mail :).

In more than games buddy. Additionally you will not notice much of a difference unless you make it a habit of gaming at 640x480 at low Detail.

Additionally, clockspeed has nothing to do with this. Clocking higher does not yeild the huge gains it used to while executing more instructions per clock, although lowering the theoretical maximum clock executes more data at once. When comoparing speed clockspeed and IPC mean nothing by themselves.
