We have dual athlon servers running on RH7.1 and 7.2.
No problem at all.
In the old age, K6 2 and K6 3 were better faster for floating point 
operations compared to P2 and PIII.
But I can't really say about P4 compared to Athlon.
I have been extreemely happy with many Athlon XP configurations, but I 
don't have a P4 to compare them with.
