What is it with you and Athlons? They are nothing to get excited over. Besides, those Pentium 4's are faster than the AthlonXP's and that 2.4ghz gem isn't very expensive. As a matter of fact, I'd like for you to have a look at this thread.
Not only did the guy I was helping find satisfaction in his new found P4 2.4c, but some other people went with the setup just from reading the thread. Anyways, have a look at reply #69 (he is one of the people who went with the setup just from reading the thread).

If you don't want to read it, I'll take it upon myself to quote him. ;P

Anyone looking to upgrade to a new computer should really think hard about following the advice of this thread. Viper really knows what he's talking about and for the skeptical, there is a review through GameSpyDaily that confirms it (http://www.cluboc.net/reviews/cpu/intel/p4/2.4c/index.htm).
It's a little bit of work and it took me a while to get everything up and going but looking back, it's because I was going very slowly to be absolutely sure of what I was doing. If you are comfortable installing hardware you can handle this.
It's amazing that you can build such a powerful machine for so little money (assuming you have a left-over monitor, keyboard, mouse and printer). You simply won't get anywhere near this kind of a deal at a retailer.
Thanks again Viper!

I'm serious mushroom, that P4 2.4c is better than any Athlon XP on the market...hands down. Get over the fact that AMD is no longer the price/performance leader buddy. ;P
