I'm ordering the parts for my new system tonight or tomorrow. I plan to go with AMD, simply 'cause I want to give it a shot after hearing everyone rave about it. I doubt I'll be disappointed.
However, would an Athlon with a clock speed of 2.0 GHz be faster or slower than a Pentium 4 with hyperthreading at an equivalent clock speed of 3.0 GHz?
I ask this because I remember reading somewhere that the HT technology of the Pentiums made them superior to AMDs normally.
I'd prefer to hear from someone who has tried both CPUs.
