Thinking about either the P4 2.4 512 533mhz for $161.00 or the AMD XP 2500 Barton 333 for $131.00 - Seems like for the price those are pretty good bang-for-the-buck. Prices from google and newegg.
From what I read the P4 seems to outperform the AMD, at a little more of a price, but I figure I will have to buy a better hs+fan for the AMD as most people feel the OEM one is inadequate.
What's everyone opinion of these two? Or should I be looking at something else? I'm not brand loyal, just interestes in value vs dollars.
Thanks for the suggestions!
