pentiums suck. that's all there is to it. they're better at encoding (except against a high-speed amd chip like the FX-62) and some other tasks, but overall athlon 64s will destroy them.
now... if you're talking about intel overall, there's this nice chip called "core 2 duo" that is the best chip out right now (assuming it's even accessable for the public... i don't know right now). a good thing about amd, by the way, is that they cut prices MASSIVELY. these are reflected on newegg.com (2.4ghz 3800+ for ~110 bucks?? 3800+ dualcore (2.0ghz) for 169?????). Double Post: go here for some charts... look elsewhere for higher-end stuff (this is more budgety). anandtech has plenty of pentium-class vs. athlon charts. do a google search ( site:anandtech.com Pentium D ) or you could search for pentium 4 extreme or FX-62 if you want high-end stuff. Triple Post: oh hey, i just realized you were looking for p-D vs. sempron 3200+. while i have no clue why you'd want to pit a midrange CPU versus a purely budget one, the pentium D 905 will probably beat the sempron 3200+ in most areas... i don't know about charts for those! you can look at the "athlon 64 3000+" to get a good idea of how that might run, but it would be a bit slower than the 3000+ probably. Jam it back in, in the dark.

not sure which benchmarks you were looking at, but the ones at anandtech show the 3800+ wiping the floor with the pentium D in 95% of the tests.
Double Post: another doublepost! anyway the 4200 isn't much more expensive than the 3800 - $199 for the AM2 version How ya doing, buddy?
