Sorry but I have to put in my 2 cents
check out his site for information on the chips themselves
http://www.emulators.com/pentium4.htm
Check out round 1 for a comparison of both price and performance.
it is under the Pentium 4 - Generation 7 or complete stupidity?
section

also as a C++ programmer you have nothing to worry about,
the compiler takes care of those details.
if you were programming in assembly the only difference 
is you have a few more or a few less instructions avalible
this rarely makes a difference unless you have a program 
optimized for that specific processor as most of the extra
instructions.
