<< Actually, there is a good chance that QIII will be significantly faster on a P4 than an Athlon. QIII uses SSE and it is highly memory bandwidth dependent, one of the few benchmarks that showed much improvement with Rambus, for example. >> If I'm not mistaken, if you look at the Q3 benchmarks we've seen (okay they're probably questionable at best) it looks like the p4 does really well at low resolutions and really bad at high resolutions. At the low resolution, the memory bandwidth is probably a bigger factor, but at the higher resoultion it probably gets bogged down in it's fpu. I had thought the benchmarks I saw showed the athlon beating it at the higher resolutions.
