news:ec8085c3.0306300033.33bcd914@posting.google.com I plan to do alot of video work (mostly encoding) and want to upgrade my 700mhz TBird. I've been a supporter of AMD the underdog for quite some time now. However, my research on CPU benchmarks shows that the P4 (with its SSE) smokes even the Opteron when it comes to encoding. Please, please convince me that I should stay with AMD. Thanks.
Wait till Sept. to decide and check out the Athlon64. It executes SSE &
SSE2
instructions. Stick with AMD if you can. Competition is a good thing.
