PCWorld - P4 DISAPPOINTS PC WorldBench tests suggest you'llbe initially served every bit as well, if not better, by older Pentium IIIs and Advanced Micro Devices Athlons. In PCWorld.com tests, the new chip barely keeps pace with the 1-GHz PIIIs used for comparison, and it even fell behind these older systems on some measures. Matched against a 1.2-GHz Athlon PC with Double Data Rate RAM, the P4 fares worse. The clear price/performance victor among the machines tested is the $2699 Micron Millennia Max XP, the 1.2-GHz Athlon system. It won nearly every benchmark test and features a combination 12X DVD-ROM and 12X/10X/32X CD-RW drive from Ricoh. Micron says the Ricoh drive's JustLink technology minimizes the data gaps that often make recorded CDs unusable. The unit's 31GB hard drive is the smallest here, however. All of the P4 systems use expensive RDRAM, while the micronpc.com system uses the new DDR. Micronpc.com is offering DDR upgrades for about the price of comparable PC-133 SDRAM.
