What is the difference between AMD and Pentium processors?

Both processors are very reliable but the main difference is with performance. I currently have 2 computers with Intel Pentium and 2 with AMD. The Intel Pentium are more geared to the buisness side of the computer world and the AMD are much better for gaming applications, even though they do a fine job on the buisness side as well. It really comes down to one's preference and the type of applications the computer will be running.

How does the speed of an AMD 64 3200 compare to a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz?

The 3200 bit of AMD 64 3200 means that the processor is equivalent to a Pentium 4 3.2 GHz processor. The reason that they do this is to stop you getting confused as AMD processors run a lower clock rates but they are a lot more effcient than Intels in processing instructions, so they put the equivalent speed of a Pentium that can match the performance of the AMD chip.
