Well they are way over-priced. The performance of the P4 is underwhelming right now also. I haven't seen any P4 xeons out yet. If you have to go quad, go with the P3. You would really need a pretty busy server to have much need for the quad. You can get a P3 733Mhz for about $120. That is probably the biggest bang for the buck now.
