If you're into overclocking intel is the way to go. The 1.6a can normally be overclocked to 2.2 ghz, an 600 mhz overclock and thats with the standard heatsink fan.

You wil never see an amd cpu (for the forseeable future) get anywhere near the region of 800mhz more power. 200mhz maybe but even then you need better cooling and anything more than that requires water cooling or a vapochill case which brings the cpu down to minus temperatures. Thats if you want to spend about $800 on a vapochill system.


I built a pc for a friend a couple of night ago with an xp chip, first time ive seen one an it seems to run cooler than my thunderbird. Saying that though i'l prob go the p4 route when upgrading anyway.
