P4 vs AMD64

[SybrCLocK]

i know there have been discussions about it...
usually when someone asks me what pc he should buy.. i ask him what do you want to do with it..

P4 for graphics, movie compression and edditing
AMD for multimedia, games etc

whats the deal with the AMD 64?

thx

Gaming :) - just a better AMD CPU so better at the thing AMD usually does - now the 64 can be better on encoding and such IF the app supports 64bit instructions and ui got a 64bit O/S but soon intel will have their equivelant out.
