Um ... what can I say? Hello every1! The name's Bond .. James Bond w/o a UBB license nor Perl experience ( currently learning again from Programming Perl

).
AMD is the best when it comes to price/performance ratio. Their Arch. is far superior to Intel's but it lacks the speed and the cache memory.
AMD Palomino can do 9 IPC ( Intructions Per Cycle ) while Intel Northwood is capable of doing 6 IPC only.
Simple math:
Athlon XP @ 1.5 GHz = 1.5 * 9 = 13.5
Pentium 4 @ 2 GHz = 2 * 6 = 12
Anyway, the ClawHammer should blow up everything. And it will have intruction sets desinged specifically for UBB.Classic.
