No it is not. First of all AMD Athlon64 CPU's are capable of 64bit, not just 32 bit processors. If you look at benchmarks, a 2Ghz AMD64 processor competes with a 3.2Ghz Intel. In actuallity, the FX-55 AMD64 processor is currently the FASTEST processor on the market. AMD has proven the clockspeed, no longer means you have fastest processor. AMD64 cpu's also incorperate a memory controller on the cpu, which removes bottlenecks in bandwith compared to the P4, also AMD64 htt tech decreases bottlenecks, giving you a superior system.
With all this being said, I am sure if you search the forums there is a thread on this already. As people here seem anal about creating duplicate threads.
