What AMD processor whips the Pentium 4?

I know nothing of AMD, I would like to build a system between a Pentium 4 and Core 2 Duo. I thought I would give AMD a chance, instead of plopping in a Pentium D. This is for my father so, it will word process, surf, and play some online Poker. basically nothing. I just want to show him I can best his Dell Dimension 3000, since he won't even touch my PC.

Thanks
 
AMD pretty much dominated the market before the Core processors from Intel. Any Athlon 64/X2 will beat the its Pentium counter-part.

My old socket A AMD Athlon XP 3200+ Barton core 2.2GHz beat the P4 3GHz at stock. I could OC that thing a mother fudger
 
It sounds like I screwed up by buying two P4 systems and building one. But, that was before I was on the forum :D. Now with the X2 4600, are we speaking of "flying through apps".
 
The 65W 4600+ is an awesome deal.
Especially for 123.
Performance is less than the 6300... True.
But even after the price drops, it's still a heck of a lot cheaper.
Not worth upgrading to C2D imo.

Oh, and I paired it with a M2NPV-VM microATX board.
Works perfect :]
Running stable at 2.7Ghz.
Stock cooler, 29C under load w/ AS5.
The stock cooler is so quiet :s
All my old computers sound like a bus or something.
and I can't even hear this one running when I'm 3 feet away.

[went with that mainboard to hold off buying a GPU until the new cards come out, and it's onboard graphics aren't all that bad]

Thats complete BS, you're processor isnt equivalent to a 6.6Ghz Pentium 4, just goes to show you cant trust those.

The Athlon 64 series pretty much outperforms the P4 series.
