we opted for Athlons across the board, as performance is as good or better than the P4, and cost is a major factor in favor of the athlons. Check out the benchmarks at specbench (www.specbench.org) for really really specific system information and results. Tom's Hardware rocks, but specbench is a little more informative if you know _exactly_ what your stuff is going to be doing.
