Which Processor is better&w/o any error AMD Athlon XP or Pentium 4?
- Thread starter 167
- Start date
I take it your planning on installing 95/98? I know a lot of people may differ but I run a Pentium 4 right now on Windowx XP Home Edition and it works awesome. Ive never had any errors, hangs, failures. Its been nice as I was acustomed to 98's invalid page faults. The only roblem with XP is it is a lot more demanding with the requirements and some of the software is incompatible at first but a lot of companys have XP updates.
I havent had a lot of expierence with AMD Athlons but when I had used one I was getting more crashes then I am with my Pentium 4. Of course that could of just been my buddies computer.

Walks? what type of AMD Athlon you use it before? is it Thunderbird, Palomino or XP core? How many MHZ? What type of error do you encounter?
What type of Pentium 4 you use? is it a Big chip or a small chip type? How many GHZ? Are you using any Oracle Application? it works? on Pentium 4.

ive got a 1.2 ghz thunderbird on win xp pro and it works just fine, i run office 2k premium, an asus a7v266-e board with 512mb pc2100 ddr ram.
i also have a 2 ghz northwood p4 on win xp home with office xp standard and i also get no errors,
so what is exactly your question, which is better? which runs certain apps better? maybe i dont understand, but you cant go wrong with either

Both will provide error free computing. I, myself love Athlons, and have never had a problem with them. Really it is a personal preference. Some prefer Intel, some prefer AMD. From my expierence, the preference split is about 50%/50% among tehnically inclined users.
