Is it wise to buy a pentium 4 now or is intel going to slash prices because of their new chips coming out in two weeks?
I don't pay attention to Intel pricing, but I know AMD prices have dropped significantly these past few days

Do not buy a pentium 4 at all, either buy an amd or a conroe. The prices are quite reasonable for intel standards

I'm waiting for quad cores baby on the AM3 platform that will most def push me to build another system.
I can't even imagine having 2 quad cores on a two socket AM3 platform. Man my encoding times will be prob 50% faster or more.

I can't afford to change mobo right now and mine won't run Penium D much less Conroe.
I just don't understand why a Pentium D with 800MHz FSB and 4mb L2 is $140 and a Pentium 4 with 800MHz FSB and 2mb L2 is $160.
Although intel does seem to be spanking amd right now I do wish I had gone with amd based on the pricing right now.

Intel doesn't spank AMD if you are looking at an overall picture in the past year and a half AMD beats 3/4 of Intels current production products.

Careful, Cobra_R is sensitive to bad mouthing AMD. Get over it, and start accepting it Cobra!! Its now intels' turn to have its fame in the lime light. Nonetheless, you are right on the fact that intel has received a beating from AMD for the past year and half. Did people ask to give intel some slack then? I think not. Look at the bright side, this will give AMD more incentive to get more inventive! Ever heard of the story of the two companies competing to build better mousetraps? Well, that is exactly what this scenario is. And for the record, intel is spanking AMD, as of right now.

Cobra if you could have one cpu right now what would it be. Give intel there due, they came up with a kickass cpu. Let it play out and 18 months from now you might be saying amd has a kickass cpu but right now intel has taken a nice size lead in cpu performance---case closed
