Assume that you're doing useful work on the machine and that price is irrelevant. I can't find benchmarks for the exact program (Synopsys VCS) that concerns me the most. BTW - Friends of mine have had trouble running EDA software (Synplicity's Synplify and Xilinx's ISE) on Athlons, but I didn't get involved - maybe they didn't cool them properly or bought crappy motherboards.
