The 2nd system is by far better. Newer, more powerful etc.

This isn't even friggin close. P4 is old tech. Phenom ftw.

Right on, thanks. I just seen like the L2 cache was more on the intel one. Thanks again

Cache can make a big difference depending on what you are doing, but that quad will b-slap the P4 into the last century.
