The two system together come out the same price as getting a daul AMD 1.4 with some minor changes to some other components. I will get a P4 1.8 to do flask mpeg4 encoding. I will get the AMD 1.4 system and partner it up with the matrox RT2500 to do the video editing. My current standing is that I am getting the best of both worlds - kinda. I would only spend twice the money for near twice the performence gain and that is not so. At 939 CND$ for the cpu alone it is a item that prices it's self out of competion, especially with it's younger sibling the 1.8GHz at 439 CND$. I have looked at the P4 2GHz system and found it not worth the money.
