ounce for ounce, the A64 is more powerful. That is why people like them. They are workhorses for considerably less cost than Intel processors. They are far more efficient getting much more work done in one cpu cycle than P4's. They run cooler and more efficient. They are 64 bit, your P4 is 32 bit. Dollar for dollar your money is much better spent on an A64. And then you just clock the bejeezus out of it and guess what. . .it's now still as efficient as it was before, much faster, and you paid a LOT less.

But its stll slower than a non overclocked P4 in those two apps.

Perhaps true but if it were as efficient as an AMD 64 it would be running probably 4.5-5 GHz. And how much did it cost? Maybe you missed my point when I said ounce for ounce and dollar for dollar. If you overclocked an AMD 64 to the same 3.4GHz, it would crush the P4 and you'd pay a LOT less.
