Athlons comepete with the equivalent Pentium very well - you pay less for the same or more power. The trouble is athlons dont go up to the same clockrate as the P4, so if you absolutely must have the fastest computer on the planet, you have to go intel.

But athlons run on a different motherboard that the pentium, so if you already have a decent setup you might be better off getting a new pentium. Or not, the new P4s run in a different socket to the celerons, so youd need a new mobo anyway.

Alienware pcs rock! A friend of mine and I have spent countless hours drooling over their cases...I'd love to get one but they're waaaaay too expensive for me.
