Hi i've been planning on getting a new computer for a while now, and cant build one cause parents wont trust me to. But im smart, i know Dell is a crap company that overprices, and Gateway does too. So i plan on custom building from either www.cyberpowersystem.com or www.ibuypower.com

I was planning to get an Amd Athlon XP fully loaded, but have a few questions that came up

Anyways, i was wondering why is it better to buy an AMD athlon xp than a P4, i mean what differance is seen through every day use?

Also are all dvd-rw's able to make cdr's and cd-rw's, or does one have to buy a dvd-rw/cd-rw drive
