Specint2000 link: http://www.specbench.org/osg/cpu2000/results/cint2000.html

                                           Peak
Intel D850GB Motherboard 1.5 GHz P4        5.36
AMD   GA-7DX Motherboard 1.33GHz Athalon   5.39

.066% difference based on specint2000, performance for a
specific chess program may vary and results for Crafty can
be found: http://www.specbench.org/osg/cpu2000/

For most programs the two are very close, the AMD is slightly
faster and costs less.  I like the AMD, but the performance
is very close.
