the P4A's are faster then the Athlons in graphics.

Of course, they cost way more, and the difference isn't THAT big.

Master of Reality:
whats so bad about integrated video? I have integrated video and it doesnt seem too bad... maybe thats just because i cant afford a better one.

Lloydr:
well the 2 systems i can get off a buddy for smame price goes like this:
system 1) Pentium 4 1.6ghz 256kb L2 cache, SiS 650/961 chipset w/ SiS Real256 intergrated graphics, 256mb DDR PC2100 ram, 60gb hdd,and cd-rw drive(don't matter for me...got plenty)

system 2) AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (1.667ghz), Via KM266 chipset, S3 ProSavage8 integrate gaphics, 512mb DDR PC2100 Ram, 80gb hdd, dvd-rom, cd-rw....

both are same brand and everything....almost same exact price, the amd system is like $25 cheaper but don't matter..... which would be a more stable hardware setup with the best support in Linux Redhat 7.3 when their both straight out of the box? i'm probaly gonna end up with either a Geforce 2 MX420 or somethin like that....or if all else fails and we upgrade a different system, then i will end up with a 3dfx voodoo3 3000 agp 16mb(lol)....it's great card in linux but is a bit old....lol....l8r

markdcc:
AMD for sure, for the price you can't beat the performance.  I built a dual Athlon MP 1800+ on a tyan board with a gig of reg ECC ram for under 1200 bucks, and it kicks ass.  I also have a K6/2 400 toshiba laptop running RH 7.2 that works great.

badkarma:
why integrated video sucks? shared memory (not really a problem on 256mb+ systems ... but a very big one for my 128mb machine) and poor performance....
