    I dunno why there's always this need for "equivalents" lol especially with AMD/Intel and ATi/nVidia .... both companies make excellent products and work fine for tons of people. To answer (or not) your question, there isnt really an "equivalent" of the Prescott simply because the Prescott is the only chip of its class .... all of AMD's chips are in the 0.11 micron weight class now.

    As for performance, that's just a pissing contest for rich people lol although I have a tendency to think the FX53 is a superior chip for utilitiy (hands down) and for performance (a pissing contest). I've heard some stories of serious Prescott related heat issues (and given the performance of the NorthwoodCs, I wouldnt reccomend it at all).

    i am talking about performence i am not going to just get a chip around the same price and hope it has the same perfomence because i am thinking of getting the intel but if the amd chip (same performance) is $100 cheaper i will get 1 of them wont i.


    as i am on a budget (unlike you who has the most expensive of everything)

    Well in either case, from what ive seen and heard, i'd stay away from the prescott because it's been getting its arse kicked around by both the NorthwoodC and the AMD chips.

    this is how much i modded my old case , it took about 1 years work . u might find it on some websites like maybe google , but i technicly copied another PC and gave it more work . BTW this isnt my case but it is basicly the same thing exept the case couler is silver and evrything else is pretty much the same
