There isn't much of a difference between the two, but from what i heard Pentium is better for games, simply because more games are tested and optimised for pentium.
AMD 2600+ Vs P4 2.6GHz -- no noticable difference.
i say lot's wait and see what the next generation has to offer, both AMD XP and P4 are now probably at their best clock rate, i think we are not far from the P5 or AMD YQ CPUs.

The P4 chip at 2.6 and the AMD 2600 have a pretty big difference....almost 30 points on toms hardware benchmarks...Benchmarks
[SIZE=1]AMD 4200 X2 @ 2.65Ghz, ASRock 939-VSTA
1.75GB PC3200, 2 X 160GB Seagate w/ 8MB Buffer
HIS Radeon X800 Pro, Antec Super Lanboy Aluminum

I can't figure out why, but they're using 266 DDR ram with the 2600(everything else gets 333). It might be because they're using the old athlon 2600 with the 266 FSB, the newer version performs significantly better, (a bit worse than the 2700) even so the 2.6GHz intel is probably still better on nearly all the benchmarks
I think the intro of the Barton was when they started using 333 ram, however it could be just another scam to pull money out of people.
well, i have an athlon 2700 with 333MHz fsb, so 333MHz fsb was available on this before barton cores came out...Originally posted by Neo 721@27 July 2003 - 20:37
