yes, even the awful netbursts have their use. and no, that use is not "spaceheater" even if they do that as a secondary function

Anything they can do that an Athlon XP would not? Purely curious (also I have always wanted an Athlon XP or 64 system rip)

athlon XPs dont support DMA over their ISA bus. the p4 can with specific chipsets

lea-think I have a S478 board with an ISA slot... cool stuff?

only if it has one of the chipsets which will allow full DMA over the isa slot, aka the intel 8xx series

the intel 865/875 is the best one as it supports a faster FSB over the older 845 and 815 chipsets

they're kinda rare tho and if it does have one, the 845 with the slower FSB is way more common then the others
