no.. you have that backward when referring to the Athlons. And P3s are buggy
POSs.... I know people who have P3 500+s, they run worse, and slower than my
roomate's P2 400.  And they crash all the bloody time.

P3 sucks, and I have run my own tests on P2 vs AMD and found AMD to win out
virtually everytime except under 1 screen saver and 2 programs that were
specifically written for Intels.
