Thanks Doug. I think the last paragraph sums it up: >>>We can give power-PC buyers this advice: The new Pentium 4 systems are certainly powerful and can handle your toughest jobs. But they fail to deal a finishing blow to Athlon XP-based PCs, and--for now--they offer less value for your money. If you work with video or must have an Intel-based system, consider a P4 2A GHz PC instead of a P4 2.2 GHz unit. You'll get similar performance, and you may save a couple hundred dollars.<<< Question: Why would someone "must have an Intel-based system"? Are there any situations where an Athlon would cause a conflict?
