Chess is not all I do. Nor is it all anyone does on their PC. 100% (literally) better graphics than the AMD, using the same video card. 30% faster encoding video. 15% faster encoding MP3's. These are *not* marginal victories. These are HUGE gains. I said in my original post, that I was interested in chess performance, but let's be honest here for a second, most people who have a PC don't have a chess program installed. Bottom line: Whatever you do with your Intel P4 2.53Ghz machine, it will be faster than my AMD 1.73Ghz machine. If that's by 10% or 100%, it's going to be faster.
