Maybe a dumb question. But I was all psyched up last week to buy a
1.7GHz P4 Sony VAIO. Will the P4 always be a bad processor for Pd? Or can I buy one in the hopes that it will one day work like its supposed to in Pd?

I've got preliminary results that show that, on average, my P4 1600 doesn't run much faster than my P3/866. So Pd users everywhere should buy celerons at 1.2-1.4 GHZ for best results. They cost $60 and seem to outrun P4s, not to mention celerons at 1.7+ which are downgraded P4s.
