P3/Athlon: Your PC can probably accept either processor, but I would bet serious money it does not actually contain one of each. P4: In terms of urge to buy or excitement, not much. But people do buy the fastest and latest, and Intel always make sure that very soon after intro, the new processors come down rapidly in price. The net result is that new PCs from now on will be mainly P4. So the question is not P3/Athlon or P4, but more a case of "new PC or stick with the old one". Of course, AMD will drop Athlon prices seriously - probably to the point of bigger financial losses - in order to at least keep the low end.
