I will answer you my friend, an AMD Athlon XP it's much better for gaming, the P4 is only reasonable for data bases, although it more expensive.

Let me finish that sentence for you. P4 owns Multimedia content creation. Not much better in games, if anyting it is slighty better in "some" games.
For Databases though, I could have sworn that AMD is better, but Databases are better left to Opterons and Xeons/Itaniums.

Ah yes... It's completely unreasonable to use a P4 for any other reason.

Yeah, because add-on cards just cost more.

The four emoticons? Nah, that was my way of rating how lame the post was.

lol, nice one Wingznut :)
Any(AMD or Intel) CPU with a nice video card will be good for gaming...

PS.
My Intel at 3.06Ghz with 9800 Pro runs all my databases very well :D

it is not a debate, the Athlon XP is better in most games. there are a few, but it depends on the tests done. If a reviewer did only buisiness apps, an athlon xp 2000+ would woop a p4 3.2EE. and if a reviewer did only encoding and multimedia stuff, it would be vice versa. But in general the athlon xp is better in about 70% of all games out there and all buisiness apps. While p4 is better at media stuff. but the athlon 64 woops either one in pretty much anything so thats not a comparison. right now intel has nothing to compare to athon 64.

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, but when I look at Anand's review of the P4-3.2ghz (see Jeff7181's link above), I see the P4 win every gaming benchmark... Quite handily, actually.

Athlon tends to give more performance for the money. But the fastest P4 available seems to be the speed king right now.

I like AMD and I like the direction that they are going in better than Intel but, I'm not biased.

Unless you can get the Athlon64 3200+, go with Intel 2.4C and up. If even the 2.4C is too pricey then go for the Athlon XP price that is right for you.
