As far as performance, those early P4s and Xeons werent any real

Agreed. My rule of thumb, which may not be true for newer Intel
processors, is that an Athlon processor will keep up with a pentium 4
running at twice the speed.
It's certainly my experience that an Opteron will outperform a
significantly higher clocked Xeon.
Horses for courses, ymmv, etc.
