    I'm upgrading from AthlonXP2200 to Athlon64-2800 (754) or P4 2.8...is it worth? How long does it take to encode a 23min avi to mpeg1 (tmpeg) with the mentioned processors? I'm on a budget Socket 939 is expensive.

    I think it's not worth it.


    Wait another year or two.


    The single core 939s with be the price the 754s are.


    In my opinion a P4 is never worth it.


    AMD all the way.
    snappy phrase

    I don't know what you're talking about.

  4. TMPGEnc is well multithreaded. It runs nearly twice as fast on a dual core CPU (compared to a single core CPU of the same clock speed). Save your money until you can afford an Athlon 64 X2 3800+.

    Fry's has those on sale with a motherboard every other weekend for US$279.

    Have you seen this thread about benchmarking TMPGEnc?
