Enemies? What enemies?
The P4 is just another processor. Get over it. Go outside. Give it up. Stop trolling.
Despite the marketing and hoopla, we are not at war. We are using computers. Our choice of computers and OSs don't make us enemies.

we are not at war ? ... geeze...Jobs n team sure had me fooled, what will all the photoshop(carefully chosen) tests and all, not to mention comments such as "The reason i returned to Apple is because i didnt want to use Windows for the rest of my life", "Macs Suck",etc,etc....
And oh yeah....im using a PIII 550(i think) hear at school, and i regret to inform you guys that this system w/ win2000pro seems A WHOLE LOT snappier than OS9 or X on my PowerBookG4.i dont know why, but take a look at the comparison here...PowerBook G4 400 vs PIII 550. it really feels weird....but fast.(no flames, im just saying it as it is)

Sure, the Thunderbird Athlon is faster IN MOST tasks compared to the Pentium 4 right now... Yet, there are at least a couple of applications now where the Pentium 4 is faster... Quake III Arena and Adobe Photoshop... So, the P4 does have it's abilities.

But it's one ****ing limited chip! EXPENSIVE too!
And not to mention the fact it sucks up like 40 or 50 watts of power! That ain't cool for some of our NoCal residents...

Premiere owns on the P4, too.
The Pentium 4 is a horrible chip when it comes to basically anything else, though.
The Athlon is better bang for the buck.
Aside from the point, this platform debate is getting really old. I wish everyone would stop talking about which platform is better and forget the Wintel side exists at all. 
It's not what you have, it's what you do with what you have.

I'll file that right under "It's not how big it is, it's how you use it."
