I was right about AthlonMP. Check out Tom's article on it. Tom clearly stated AthlonMP uses Palamino core with all the improvements except the power saving feature, which is present in the laptop version of A-4.

For what you pay for 1.5 P4/i850 MoBo/128MB RDRAM, you can get 1.4 Athlon/DDR MoBo/256MB PC2400 CAS2 DDR with $$ to spare so you can get a better video card. Now for the same amount of money which combo will give you better 3D gaming? I'll have to say the Athlon combo with CAS2 DDR and better video card is a much better bargain.
