Nothings set in stone but usually AMD for gamers and P4's for multi-tasking, video editing etc.

Then you need to weigh up the value for money aspect also, to be honest as a general user you probably wouldnt go wrong with either.

that question is extremely vague. i mean a 64 bit is good but some 64 bit can not beat some pentium and vice versa. for value for money i would go for amd

It depends, if your gaming then the Athlon 64 would be better, of course it depends on the model that you would be getting.
