Is an Athlon XP CPU actually that much better than a Thunderbird? I was looking at the Athlon XP 1800+ and 1900+ and was wondering if a 1.4Ghz Athlon thunderbird owner should make the upgrade or not. What do you think? This is my situation and my feeling is...NO it's not worth it. However a part of me just has to have the latest and greatest ya know? ;-)

Nope. All the XP does is run a bit cooler and has some new extensions.

Yes, I know that feeling well. I have a 1.33 Tbird and have not upgraded. It will be well into next year before I upgrade.

By upgrading now, we would not much of an increase in speed compared to the currently owned cpus. Furthermore, by waiting we'll get better value for the money spent.

Hey sbp, how much do you know about the new "Hammer" (I think that's what it is called) line of AMD chips?

Oh, and I'm with you guys on that. I wouldn't upgrade right now either. If you were going from a much slower system, I'd say yeah, but I'm running my Duron at 840 right now, and it still runs everything I need.
