And I don't see you sporting the penguin in the tux!! I do have a linux workstation, but it is currently unoperational (Old acer 100 MHz, pentum!).

Signing out...
Window is the major OS... yes
Intel may be the major CPU, but AMD is gaining rapidly in market share.

IF the P4 is SO much better:

(1st example I saw, I'm to lazy 2 find a good one)

1866MHZ athlon XP beats the shit out of a P4 at 2600 MHz.
There are TONS of benchmarks that illustrate this point.
AMD is cheaper in cost. AMD kicks Intel's ass even at lower MHz. AMD's IPC is 9. Intel's is 6.
