This graph here will make it pretty clear what I was talking about earlier. Take special note of the one of a P4, notice how there are two color tones. So in short an athlon is a little more powerful than a P3, but much more bandwidth from the 266 effective FSB. The P4 has more bandwidth, but is only effective running optimized code. Also note that the chip I'm using is rated for 1.8ghz, and likely capable of more if I bothered to use. I am very interested in the correlation of memory bus width in video cards. Nice find gerwin. After a quick look I see that my 9800xt has 256-bit bus.
