I am an AMD fan, but this is a no-brainer, get the P4 system. 😀

 

[smiter]

i was taking the amd one 🙂
i just got new comp my self... amd xp 1800

 

[Amused]

I vote for the P4 system.

 

[CedarTeeth135]

I'd get the Pentium, because the better components in the AMD system really don't matter much.

 

[AdamDuritz99]

I usually suggest AMD for the best bang for the buck. But The P4 system is definantly the best bang for the buck here.

enjoy it. 🙂
