What you said just seems really untrue, since most people here are editing on the same machine they surf and game with. :\

The clock speeds are not as fast as pentiums but you can do more instructions per clock cycle (pentium[2Ghz) is like a garden hose shooting 1 gallon per second, where an athlon[1.7] is a 5 inch [diamiter] fire hose shooting 1 gallon per second. While the pentium does the work faster, the athlon does the same work in the same time with less effort, in effect making them equal even thought the clock speeds might not bee the same). Plus with an athlon you can use DDR ram which kicks ass!
