Conclusion

There you have it. For the time being, Intel's simply got AMD on the ropes.
The 865PE is cool, but 875P paired with an 800 FSB proc is phenomenal. This new chipset just feels like something bigger and better, and it is.

AMD's game is it's bargain...in fact, if one were to go AMD with the thought of overclocking, I'd tell 'em to just grab one of their $50 Thoroughbreds, and go to town. That's AMD's clear advantage...but unfortunately, it's also really hurting their bottom line as a company.

So outside of the cost advantage of low-end Athlon overclocking, it's all 875P and the 800 FSB Pentium 4's.

Good times. This was a lot of work, and a lot of fun.
I'll be back when the Hammer drops...and see how the Prescott counter-punch hits.

Cheers ;)
