This may sound extremely basic for most of you but i have a quick question. I am looking to buy a mid-high end computer for some gaming and CAD drawings and other engineering software. I have most of the specs i want decided upon, except for the processor/motherboard. I was to go with an Asus motherboard but am undecided as to whether to go with Intel or AMD. I would be choosing between the Intel P4 3.0 Prescott and the AMD Athlon XP 3000+. I have noticed that the AMD chip runs at only 2.0GHz. What do AMD chips have to make up for this lower frequency, and which chip would you personally reccommend for my solution? Thanks for your time.
