It is time to think about upgrading my hardware.

I notice that the P4 2.4GHz costs about the same as the AthlonXP 2400+.  Has
anyone got any data on their relative performance for bitboard and non-bitboard
engines.  I guess form Crafty and something else.

Does the P4 still have the internal circuit to slow it down (when it gets hot)
under sustained load.  I seem to recall seeing something from Quake players
about this, but could be mistaken.

ps It is not my intention to start a 'religious' AMD versus Intel war.
