Athlon 64 3200+ or Intel P4 3.2Ghz?

Comment:

I am looking for opinions. I am going to build my own computer and the hardest dilemma I have is which processor to go with: Athlon 64 3200+ or Intel Pentium4 3.2Ghz HT... I'm kind of leaning towards Intel but newegg.com has got a lot more reviews about Athlon.. It seams people started buying Athlon 64 3200+ more. Would you please give me your opinion and back it up if possible. Thank you all! I love this site and appreciate all the proffies that help here.

I'd lean toward the AMD. Either choice would be a good one though. Skip

Summary: Ok without the fanboy responses, I just want an educated response or discussion on whether it is best to spend my $200 on a Athlon 64 3200+ or a P4 3.0GHz. (Leaning towards the 3200+ atm because pcclu...
