Which is the best choice: Athlon XP 2600 or P4 2.5 (or 2.8?) GHz? Are there some specific benchmarks for NR2003 with these CPU?

I think they are about equal. Larry "ZP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:dlXja.86505$[email hidden]... > Which is the best choice: Athlon XP 2600 or P4 2.5 (or 2.8?) GHz? > > Are there some specific benchmarks for NR2003 with these CPU? > >

GHz? the 2.5 and the 2600 would be a close match - the Athlon taking it They're about the same price - but the 2.8G is twice as expensive - so I'd suggest the money would be better spent elsewhere instead of a 200mhz increase in CPU speed Doug
I have always been a diehard intel fan, till now. IMO best boom for the buck is the Athlon XP 2500. Coupled with a Asus A7N8X and dual channel DDR. The answer to your question relies heavily on what graphics card u have. - Paul

For Intel, I think the 2.53 is the sweet spot right now. Larry "Doug Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b6rocv$7o4rs$[email hidden]...
