Indeed. A P4 may have more Ghz, but it's still slow when it comes to constant fast working, such as gaming. My friend fails to understand this and thus won't join the AMD clan of processor users, and thus is paying the price in not being able to play good games as well as he'd like to. He just looks at the Ghz and thinks that the P4 must be better with it's 2.7Ghz, yet he always marvels at the speed of my PC, with it's 'inferior' AMD Athlon 64 +3200 running at 2.0Ghz.
