If want the max "chess bang for the buck" go with AMD! I'm running my Athlon
1,4Ghz Tbird at 1460Mhzh at the moment. I could go faster, but as I want to be
under 60C at max load I stopped there. To get the same performance chesswise I
think you need a PIV 1800 and it cost you a lot more. To be faster than the AMD
1800+ you will need at least an PIV 2GHZ
