What should I get?

[Adam135]

INTEL P4 D805 2.66 DUAL CORE SCK 775 CPU

Or

AMD ATHLON 64 3200+ SCK939 RETAIL
http://www.planetmicro.co.uk/product_info.asp?stockcode=M004691

I would be using it for gamming, and video editing.

Thanks

well gaming=AMD
but the 805 has good overclocking capability
and the 805 has the advantage of being dual core

Depending on which you use more, that will make the final verdict. If your planning on mostly gaming, than go with the Athlon 64 3200+, but if you do mostly video editing than go with the Pentium D 805. If your doing both equally, then go with the Athlon 64 3200+.

The 805 does overclock quite well due to it's high multiplier (20x), however it's crippled by it's slower 533Mhz Bus, vs the A64's or other Pentium D 8xx/9xx series which have an 800Mhz Bus.
