While more than six months remain before Intel launches its next-generation processor architecture to replace the less-than-venerable Pentium 4, Athlon 64 processors have bested the Pentium 4 by offering better performance and lower power consumption for more than a year.

Perhaps the only reason for you to even consider this card is if you need a quad-monitor setup in a single card.
