This is simply not true, if you're talking in general. The general word on
usenet about dual P4s vs. dual Athlons is that besides being cheaper, they're
also better. Many people who use it "seriously" as in heavy 3D work, rendering,
photoshop etc. report in favor of AMD. P4's might be better for Crafty, I don't
know. It would only be natural, since you have tested and developed it
extensively on P4s and not on Athlons. But P4s are certainly not better in
general.
