Go up one level in this thread


First of all, you might have to wait a long time to get a P4 2.0 GHz part. They
are really, really, really scarce. And secondly the AMD Athlon XP 1800+ will be
faster on just about anything, in chess it will be a substantial difference. The
P4 will run some special code specially compiled fast. Mostly streaming apps,
not chess. While The Athlon has allround high performance, the 1800 moniker is
very conservative.
