But it's good there is an affordable Athlon64 and it will be even better once there are more motherboard choices.

Good point.

It is a good point. That is why this arguing needs to stop. The only problem I have with some people is their complete bias towards one company. Just buy whichever product performs better for it's price in the areas that are important for you. If you do a lot of media encoding, then by all means, go with a Pentium 4 system. If you do a little media encoding on the side, but your primary use for your computer is to game and surf the Internet, then the Athlon64 is probably a better deal for you. There is no one winner. That is the beauty of building your own system, you can purchase what fits your needs.
