Neither. AMD has a new chip coming out next month, and so does Intel in Oct. At least wait to see what happens. Even if they are priced out of your price range, which the lower end won't be, but the higher end will, it will drive P4C and AXP prices so low it will be worth the wait.
But my recomendation right now would be an Intel platform. better ugradability at this point. 3200+ is likely the last AXP we'll see. A 3400+ is a posibility, but a slim one. A P4 865 or 875 chipset will offer you an upgrade path to 4ghz max. Meaning you can stick something like a 2.4C in there now and then drop in a 4ghz whenever the prices sink and you start to think its slow.
