| From a $$$ point of view, the prescott set up is more valuable. However, I'd be a bit cynical on why they'd want to trade.... Maybe the prescott is a dud that runs too hot or doesn't OC well, or the board isn't first rate. A bird in the hand (that oc's well) is worth 2 in the bush.

| tough one, Personally I think I'd take the prescott, as in the majority of things it will outperform an AthlonXP The only issue would be that of heat, that prescott pumps out a lot more heat than the AthlonXP, especially as it's a mobile chip, so it's not gonna be as quiet to cool as well

| I heard that P4 3,0 Ghz prescott is a very good overcloking potential, saw running at 3,5 easily.....so swap it, keep the P4
