"The biggest performance increase upgrading from a Athlon XP 2500 to a Athlon XP 3000 was 12%, let's compare that to the difference in cost. When upgrading to a XP 3000 in the US you will pay 53% more and in the UK you will pay 48% more. The XP 3000 doesn't sound like such a good buy does it for such a small performance increase you will be paying approx five times more."
