Do you have any evidence to support this? Thread synchronization is a
bitch. Unless you're running truly distributed apps exclusively (a'la
EMAIL:PROTECTED or password cracker) there's no benefit to dual processors,
although you may actually take performance penalty for poorly written
apps /OS threading algorithm. My vote is for the 1.4 gig Athlon
(although I'm not enthusiastic about AMD products altogether).
