I can't think of a reason not too use one; however, if the P-4 runs at
1.5gHz and has additional enhancements such as fewer clocks per
instruction, more instructions, registers ( it has a bunch more floating
point registers than pentium-pro-3, athlon), faster front-side bus, bigger
cache, etc. etc. and perhaps it's the direction things will migrate, then
it may make sense to go in that direction instead of the 1.2 gHz athlon.
I have a couple of Athlon 1.1gHz machines which we've just installed RH
6.2 on with unusual difficulty. The generic installed RH6.2 kernel
crashes and dumps the registers. We got it running with a custom kernel
from my 600mHz athlon system and then building a custom one for the
machine.
