Not necessarily true. However, it would be true if it read: "athlon XP would perform much better for the money." Currently the fastest performing cpu you can buy is a P4, though it will inflict serious damage to your wallet.

What? Where have you heard this? Every report I've read says the Athlon XP2100+ out performs any P4.

I'd like to read the tests, if you have them.
