What are the differences between them? Give some pros and cons on why which is better or not better. Some of the qualities for each.

Athlons and PCs are very different. Athlons are generally a lot smaller, and need lots of accessories to make them anywhere as good as a PC.  PCs, on the otherhand, are more expensive and come with everything they need to operate.  Athlons are fine for simple mathematical operations, but if you want to play games or run windows, you'll need a PC.

That's quite...interesting.

I do beleive that the difference between Athlon & PENTIUM is that Pentium does multi-tasking better & most programs work more efficently with Pentiums, if I am correct.

Nah, you asked a question to learn something, but it was cute enough to let K reply with a witty answer.  He did all the work to make it fun.

It's still in the General Programming forum where you originally posted it.

People find it funny (I don't see how) that you would compare a processor to a full computer...

K's subtle answer makes it funny. When I'd read half of K's answer and started wondering what he was really typing and had to go back and reread the question I started laughing. All in all, I think this is way above the level of many of the so-called funny posts being posted here that are just simple jokes.

Thanks, I was proud of that.
