the 3.4EE are beating AMD 4000+ in stuff.. only the FX-55 is beating.
And your 3000+ that you claim lacks severly. But again like i said its hit and miss..
But i do know this from alot of friends i talk to most have more problems with AMD chipset motherboards.. either the IDE controller going out.. Or video cards not working with the motherboard of the MS just going dead after a little while of use. And this isn't just a single friend. Its multiple and they all know what they are doing and have built many computers. Heck i still have an old Duel PIII 600 running and kicking now.. still haven't had a single problem with it.

well, hmmmmm
it looks like the 3.46 and 3.4 EE are consistently being killed by the 3800+ and 4000+. Those are the only two that are standing a chance against the A64s, since the rest of them (even 3400+, for god's sake!) is killing any other semblance of a P4. Then, consider that the CHEAPEST Extreme Edition Processor is $912, and the MOST EXPENSIVE Athlon64 processor is $879. I think you see that the ONLY P4 chip worth mentioning is far beyond in price than ANY Athlon64 processor.
look at any other benchmark of this sort on the site. That and I've never liked Tomshardware either. It all says the same thing: P4 is not a consistent contender unless it's an EE chip, which is expensive.
