AMD

[Lainey]

I prefer the AMD processors. My question is, is the new AMD XP worth it or stick with an Athlon?

Specifically 1.47MHz AMD XP 1700PR.

AMD is the only way to go period...just did a bench mark test on my pc running thunderbird 1.33, blew away Pentium 4 1.6..when I get home tonight I will post results.

Yes but make sure you get a good motherboard.

Abit, Asus makes some of the best. I have an Abit myself.

Here's what I just ordered:

AMD 1.47 XP
40GB Harddrive
256MB Ram
64MB GeForce 2MX 400
CDRW
Zip
4 Channel Sound Card
WinXP
18" Flat Panel

yadda, yadda, yadda...

Any recommendations on the video card? I had an ATI All-In-Wonder RageII. I'm thinking maybe I should take a good look at the Radeon. Any thoughts? I'm not a gamer. DH does photography...

That is a great card. Best thing out there IMO unless you want to spend $400 for a the new 128mb geforce card that is about to hit the market.
