The AthlonXP core has a much faster FPU than the previous Athlons and the Advanced 3DNow engine.
Both are worth having, but the XP's are at their best when used with DDR66 memory and a 266 mhz bus. In this configuration they scream, especially for encoding mp3's, DivX, MPEG and other video formats.
$54 is a bit out of date as today Newegg has it at $53. You can go all the way to an 1800+ for about $69 and to a 2000+ for $91. Watch for these to drop soon because of new AthlonXP product announcements (2700+/2800+).

I have to agree with Thop on this one... for $53 USD you've got a cpu (specidically the AGOIA core) that'll clock up over 1.7gHz easy and he's not the only one to achieve such results... I've read many whom have hit 1.85gHz with excellent cooling setups"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -- Dr. Seuss

@luni, please don't forget exchange rates also effect the difference in prices when comparing to what is sold in the US"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -- Dr. Seuss

Yes of course, but US market is still much much cheaper than ours, and if you figure in much lower life standard here you can see that not many people can afford to have such CPUs. And thats a sad thing.Comment
