Quick question

it depends on the task. the 3000+ performs better than the best P4 chip in some gaming benchmarks, while the lowest end p4's can beat the fx-55 at some encoding benchies.

i disagree the whole point of the PR rating is to mirror the intel rating in its Ghz (i.e. 3.0Ghz P4) .. i also disagree with the fact the 3000+ can beat the top end P4's in gaming, and i also disagree that the FX55 will lose to encoding against the lowest end P4 .. where are you getting this information .. this is highly inaccruate and exaggerated ..

to the OP against Intel its PR would suggest a P4 3.0Ghz .. but i would say mor like a 3.2Ghz P4 with HT

Bullshyt... here's why...

example 2

Don't trust AnandTech? How bout a source known to be biased towards Intel...

example 3

example 4

example 5

Need I go on? Maybe you just consider a 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 a "lower end model?"
 
For everyday computer use and gaming, a P4 is out of the question. They're hot, inefficient, and are only good for heavy multitasking. You'd be better off with the 3000+ Venice.
