Well I want Intel right now, I was thinking of going for an AMD Athlon64, but I think I prefer a P4. Also comparing the CPU's in one of Tom's benchmarks the P4 has better performance that the Athlon64. I have an AMD processor right now (AMD Athlon XP 2000+) and I'm not happy with it, the temperature of it is too high (near 60). I used to use a P3 before the Athlon XP and it was smoother and with a temperature not as hot.

Will I see better performance with a P4 with 1MB cache? What is the cache for by the way? I dont know much about all this thats why I am asking. I was leaning more to the 3.2 with 512KB cache, but now I really dont know.

The price is not that scary actually, $1700 converted to US dollars.
