Hey everyone. Sorry if I haven't searched the forums enough and repeating this question, but I'm building a new system and I still can't decide between a P4 3GHz or an Athlon64 3000+. The Athlon64 seems to be favored here... is it that much better than the P4? I hear that the Athlon64 is basically the best run for the money right now... but I've looked at some reviews and it seems to only be better at certain benchmarks and not others. The way I see it, the P4 has hyperthreading, which seems like a big plus, and it has 4 DIMM slots so I could potentially upgrade more RAM, where as the Athlon64 motherboards only have 2 or 3 DIMMs. Also, I won't be overclocking unlike a lot of people here in the forums... so I don't know if that changes things.
Thanks for the help.
