Windsock, re:When we initially launched the Pentium 4 it was designed for multimedia. At the time we had an advice model to find out what people were doing and this was mainly entertainment (MP3/MP4), digital audio/video, communications and imaging. So we designed the Pentium 4 around these uses. We also took note of the boom in MP3/MP4 interest so the Pentium 4 is really good for encoding and decoding on those formats. Yep, if you want to rip CDs at work, the P4 is for you. If you want to get some work done faster, get an AMD CPU. Any questions? Steve
