My processor selections for my upcoming computer (completion date early August):
Intel:
Pentium 4 550 3.4 GHz Prescott;Socket LGA775
$425
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...116-182&depa=0
Pentium 4 3.4 GHz Northwood; Socket 478
$415
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...116-168&depa=0
Pentium 4 540 3.2 GHz Prescott; Socket LGA775
$299

AMD:
AMD Athlon 64 3400+; Newcastle Socket 754
$416
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...103-484&depa=0
AMD Athlon 64 3200; Newcastle Socket 754
$282
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...103-483&depa=0

Now, it seems to me that my best choice would be one of the Intel processors but I am having a hard time choosing. If I do in fact go Intel, should I get the Northwood .13nm or the new Prescott .09nm?
