what's really being compared is all the cpus runinng up and above 1ghz...the

p4 runs

SLOWER on some programs than a p3 1ghz..but the margin is so small u cant

really tell...BUT also it runs faster in some progs than the p3 1ghz..but

the

differenc is so small, u can hardly tell


if u check out TOMSHARDWARE.COM  u know that p4 is the fastest at quake

3...but for everything else..its amd athlon 1.2 ghz.....with out the SSE2

intruction set...there's also bugs..in it.problems with dvd play back and

anything to do with large amounts of data having to do with the pci bus..
