First of all Thanks a lot for help

Sorry could not understand this. What is making AMD
processors work faster than Intel processors at a
lower clock cycle. also i want to know how to prove
this that AMD 64 bit processors will work faster than
Intel 32 bit processor even if they have clock cycles
like 3.6 GHz....

Hows that? /is it due to higher clock cycles in P3 and
less no. of transistor in early P4?
Well definately PowerPC's are faster than Intel. i do
agree. Some what i feel a day will come when CISC
processors will find difficult to servive...
Thanks again
