Pentium or P4 Northwood.

[Roo]

Hi,
presently upgrading and would like to know what I should chose.
Pentium 4 1.8A
or P4 Northwood 2.40 Ghz 533MHZ
Mainly use for surfing and general home movie video editing and
webcam surveillance.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks Roo

Video editing faster is better and since both oclock well the 2.4 is the
obvious choice. P4's do work good at editing so would be what I'd go with
for that use. Why not a 2.4 800 platform? The asus p4p800 springdale boards
are great and use dual chanel memory which rocks on a P4.
