Might help if you tell us what you'll be using it for?
Also, what else will you put with it? Such as graphics card etc..
What budget are you looking at?
If you look on sites like www.anandtech.com for example, they have a CPU run down, shows the AMDs are far better for gaming for example.
At the end of the day, the AMD chips do alot of things well, but the P4 do specific tasks well - horses for courses I guess.

The new AMD64 90nm (winchesters) run cooler than P4s it would seem.
As does my 130nm AMD64 thou.

Also look at a better GFX card, you can get a 9700pro for circa 90 quid, or if you can afford it, a 6600GT (AGP) for 140 quid.
