I'm no expert on Intel chips, but which of those P4's are Northwood and which aren't? The Northwood chips seem faster at rendering and gaming than the old P4s, almost as fast as the Athlon XP: http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1595&p=9 Still, bang for the buck nothing beats the Athlon, here in Denmark the cost of one Athlon XP 2000+ is currently kr. 1889 and a P4 is kr. 4275. The P4 is thus more than twice as expensive and it _still_ gets beaten by the XP in most tests! Maybe the latest P4 2.53 GHz takes the lead, but it won't be twice at expensive, no it will be three or four times as expensive!! Intel have a long way to go to get competitive IMO :) Cheers, -S.
