Before the P4 HT I was on a AMD64 3200+. Whilst it was a good fast machine. I worked around the tasks that it was poor at. we all do. If running say a full virus scan slows the machine to a bit of a crawl you just run it at certain times. You work out what you can and cant run at the same time. You adapt your work to the machine.
Then I got the P4 and when I ran things that would have slow the AMD down. I didn't miss a beat. So I through everything I could at it and WOW that's when I saw the power of the P4. If I had continued to work on my machine the way I did with the AMD64 I wouldn't have seen that much difference but when you run ANY programs at anytime, without ANY slowdowns you see the difference BIG TIME.
As I posted before, I was using Photoshop CS and Coreldraw 12 at the same time (creating a catalogue). When I switched between programs it took between 1 to 2 seconds on my Laptop P4 3Ghz HT. On the AMD64 3200+ that I use at work. It took bewteen 20-29 seconds (yes I used the stopwatch on my cellphone). That's all that needs to be said.
I own twenty cars, six apartment buildings and a private jet. See ma, I can lie too! The P4 sucks and has proven to be total suckage against an AMD 64.
