Xp 3000

I just bought a new comp. It has AMD Athalon XP 3000+. Is this good or bad? Or just indifferent? My old comp had a Pentium 4. So I'm not real familiar with Athalon. Thanks for your opinions!

Athlon are apparently cheaper and faster... thats what im told. I currently have Pen4 2.6Ghz on my laptop and AMD on my main computer, i think its 1.2ghz, and i find my AMD one faster. My laptop sucks for speed. Bah Intel.

dpends on what ur p4 was clocked at but in general most ppl prefer amd due to the cheapness but i will get some oposition the xp3000+ is a good chip but it runs hot im sure u will be happy with it though

I am using the same chip, and I love it. I've never had a heat problem. You made a good choice in my opinion.

The XP 3000 is a great chip.

it runs at an ACTUAL clockspeed of 2.0but does roughly the equivelent work of a Pentium 4 running at 3.0.

...And the new Athlon XPs do not run as hot as the previous versions... with a good heatsink you should have no problems whatsoever.
