I think the issue with the P4 was to get those clock speeds they made the pipe too damn long. As a result every time i screwed up it lost 16 or so cycles. Frankly i only buy Athlons, i don't like P4s and i don't like Intel. The only exception is laptops, i prefer not to ignite my pants. As a result ill probably get a G4.

If i wanted to splash out i'd got for faster and more RAM, RAID, SCSI and better gfx over a P4 any day.
