1:
o Pentium 4 Has hyperthreading that helps speed up things a little.
o Costs a bomb for a P4 3.06 Ghz
o Athlon does more work per clock cycle than the P4 meaning it can run at a lower Mhz but offer a similar performance.
o Lacks the oomph at the 3200 speed compared to a P4 running at an equivilent speed (3200Mhz) #. This is most noticible in CPU intensive applications such as video and audio converting/editing (VIS Generation?).
o Cheaper than a P4
2:
o Athlon because it's cheaper and I've had no problems with them before.
3:
o Athlon XP 2000+ It performs the same as my sisters P4 2.0 Ghz in terms of games with an identical graphics card. Never noticed much difference between them.
I don't have a AMD XP 3200+ so I can't comment on that specific chip.
