An important missing part in your review.

I ve just read the amd64 3200+ review and its comparison to other systems.

I think you are missing a vital part here. PRICING of the system.
Most real life live-tissues doesnt buy according to whats got the best performance but according to their budget.

I wonder about the extra money that I need to buy that system p4 3.2Ghz EE, if I put these extra money to an amd64 system, with these extra hardware (cards, memory etc) that I would get, could my amd64 got better performance than this p4?

If it could, then an important part is missing in your reviews. Systems should be compared from the consumers Point Of View as well, rather than the technicians only.

I would really like to know how much each system costed in total. And if p4 are priced higher than the amd, then a similar to amd64 priced p4 should also be presented so people could see what intel equivalent they get with their money.


cheers!

I understand where ur coming from and I totally agree, if you read our conclusion you can see that we focused quite a lot on the price differences between the P4 EE and Athlon64 3200+. We only focused on the pricing differences on the CPUs though as the platform cost doesn't differ that much.
As our systems where pretty much maxed out "performance wise" the "left over" cash from the A64-system wouldn't give much more then some saved green and that's why we didn't do any comparison between to equally prices systems.
