Re: A lot of gamers would notice that P4 is fast in one, older, game (Quake). But in newer gaming software, that combines detailed video with sophisticated AI, Athlon wins every time. As more vendors move to newer software optimized for P4, Athlon is increasing its lead. Serious Sam: Athlon 1800+ faster than P4 2GHZ Quake 3: P4 2GHZ faster than Athlon 1800+ Castle Wolfensetein (uses a newer version of the Quake 3 engine) Athlon 1800+ faster than P4 2GHZ Unreal Tournatment: Athlon 1800+ faster than P4 2GHZ firingsquad.gamers.com

Elmer, On the other hand, the P4 has a clear lead in 3D and floating point. A lot of gamers would notice that. I don't think you looked at the test results. Athlon XP processor is faster in 4 out of 5 tests. Here is the comparison (if you really care that much about games): Serious Sam Athlon leads by 34.3% Max Payne Athlon leads by 11.2% Wolfenstein MP Test atdemo6 Athlon leads by 11.3% Wolfenstein MP Test atdemo8 Athlon leads by 7.5% Quake III Arena P4 leads by 1.8% Joe
