I guess ACE proves my point, you need SPECIAL coding. Most people aren't going to have updated software for 9 to 12 months. Athlon with DDR is the best.

Bottom Line is P4 has only 2 features that make it viable, High MHz and SSE2, but it's not going to sink Athlon, and Palamino with DDR will eclipse it.

"Conclusion

How do we feel about the Pentium 4? Clock for clock performance is worse than most other processors, but it’s wrong to evaluate a processor solely on that basis. What matters is all around performance, of course.

It is important to evaluate your processor needs because you won’t be able to say whether the Pentium 4 is faster (at this moment) than the competition or not. For example, it is very fast in OpenGL shoot-em-ups and race simulators, but it isn’t convincing in RTS and RPG and shoot-em-up DirectX games. It is faster than the competition in high-end 3D-software, but it takes a serious lashing in most 3D-animation desktop or low-end workstation software. The Pentium 4 shines in encoding and decoding, but falls short in a lot of popular tools for compiling, CAD and editing tools.
