It's not ridiculous...it's the truth. Windows XP requires a CPU about as fast as a horse-drawn carriage. After a certain speed, anything after is 100% overkill. If a 900 MHz PC is slow in Windows XP, the user has bogged it down with spyware and adware. The same goes for an Athlon 64 FX-53. I know some people that could get it running like a 386 after a few hours. It all depends on who's using the computer. If someone doesn't install useless shit (screensavers, toolbars, etc.) and runs Ad-Aware and Spybot once a week, I guarantee a 400 MHz PC will run XP as fast as an Athlon XP. I can guarantee this because I have the K6-2 beside me right now, and there's simply no difference in speed within Windows XP.
