"Like Kobe Bryant, the Pentium 4 is faking to the left, making a run to the right, and slam-dunking our charts for the fifth week in a row. At $599, the Pentium 4 1.5GHz has become a realistic option for those who crave the latest and greatest (plus it comes with 128MB of RDRAM!). AMD's high-end Athlon processors slip down the price scale even further, cementing them as great bargains."
