Go to tomshardware.com and look at his comparisons of P4s and K7s (in the CPU guide). Tom seems to think that an athlon 1200MHz is better than a P4 1500MHz. The P4 has a horrible FPU, so don't do any scientific calculations on it, unless you optimize the code for SSE (which will make it pretty fast
