I agree I always look past the oced chips and focus the non oced chips.....
I have to say he went above and beyond to show as many different programs to show it wasn't just one optimization in one program...
The conclusion are still as correct as the other site and you should take this as one sites opinion and read multiple sites and figure your real world performance is somewhere averaged between them (with so many possible system configurations whch can effect performance).....
Undisputed conclusion in this and most all sites....
AMD A64 3200+ is better at gaming with the FX even better then p4 3.2ghz and mostly all p4ee 3.2ghz....
AMD A64 3200+ and FX still fail to surpass intel in a wdie range of multimedia and rendering programs...
For me the latter means more as I do not play games!!!!!
You, being a P4 fan, hit it right on the spot. Bravo! . That is what I mean by being non-biased. No one CPU is better than the other; just depends on what you use your computer for.
