I don't want to be a spoil-sport but please notice that the 1800Mhz plus model
for example is in fact running at 1533Mhz. AMD has given the Palominos their
1500 plus etc. names, and not used the clock speeds of the processors, to move
away from direct comparisons with Intel processor speeds.
In spite of this, I think the Palomino (Athlon XP) series will be the best thing
for chess software and for the great majority of software.
Their integer performance is simply great. I'm planning to get one of those with
a VIA KT266A motherboard.

The clock speeds of the chips are:
XP 1500 - 1.33GHz
XP 1600 - 1.4GHz
XP 1700 - 1.47GHz
XP 1800 - 1.53GHz
