Re: in general, in real world use, 2.53 GHz processes data 41% faster than 1.8 GHz Yep, that's about what I'd expect, too. A 1.47ghz Athlon XP was 20% faster than a 1.8ghz P4, when running their models. An Athlon 2200+ is clocked about 22% higher than an AthlonXP 1700+. So, the equivalent P4 would have to run at 1.8 (ghz) * 1.2 (20% better) * 1.22 (clocked 20% higher) or between 2.6ghz and 2.7ghz. When they placed their orders 2 weeks ago, a 2.53 P4 was selling for $550 and an Athlon 2200+ was selling for $220. It was a really easy decision for them to make.
