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.
