Well it will be rare that anyone on here has compared the two. However if you dive over to hard ocp, they may have some comparisons.

More stable. Nah. I would only buy AMD myself. Cheaper and more for your cash.

Go with the athlon CPU, its also compatible with a future os like Vista or the 64bit version of Windows. and should be quite fast.

I would get the Intel.
Not that I dislike AMD (I have an ADM64 system atm) i just always get Intel if I can afford it.

if your prepared to spend that much on a 550 p4 why not spend some more on a a64 you can get a 3500 for less then a 550 p4 , and they dont run as hot as p4's either

Looks old to me, doesnt have the new AMD/Intel cores - Only has 478 socket/northwood and Newcastle cores (except for the prescot extreme editions, although they're also 478socket rather than 775).

Well I have a P4 3.2 Ghz and a athlon 64 3200+. Its a P4-M, and its in a laptop I use for sound editing and the likes on the flyl The Athlon is in a desktop, and it rapes for gaming. So basically what everyone else has said.

HP Pavilion M7270
AMD Athlon™ XP 3400+/64 bit Processor - This would be fine
Memory : 1 GB - This should be ok too
Harddisk :250 GB S-ATA Harddisk with space for to extend PMD - Up to you, I would use more
CD-ROM/DVD : DVD+/-R/+/-RW Lightscribe Double Layer - Fine, again up to you
Vdeo Card : 256 MB ATI Radeon X600 - This needs upgrading, its not a great card
Poorten : 7x USB 2.0
Network Card 10/100 Mbps & draadloos LAN
CD/DVD-Rewriter : 16x DVD-ROM
FireWire 2 x IEEE 1394
9-in-1 Cardreader - The above are all ok
Control System : Windows© Media Center - Not really needed, XP Prof would be better, you can install that later though

i wouldnt get it if you ever plan to upgrade.
the 3400+ is a socket 754 which already is an old socket , and wouldnt offer you a future processor upgrade path.
also the x600 is crap to , i have a x700 pro and its just about playable for games with medium detail

A socket 933 AMD64 would suit, make sure its socket 933 not 754

That looks pretty ok. I would consider finding a better gfxcard (x800 or 6600 with 256mb) though and get the SB X-FI soundcard instead of the one you have now.

AMD is by far alot better processor then pentium ever was or be, its like comparing ford and a ferarri.
Pentium is overpriced, AMD is priced right and outperformes pentium without and problems.

Pentium is better
on most benchmarks P4 scores higher than AMD on most categories
and when AMD does score higher - its a little higher, while on some categories P4 scores alot higher.
And if your'e taking AMD for the 64bit support, you can buy the P4 650 which is basicly the 550 only 64bit and 2MB cache(and according to newegg its actually cheaper than the 550)
I think the hype about AMD is that its cheap and its good, just not better
