I can see where a server/database/large number crunching with a bunch of ram it would be great but for typical desktop use it doesn't seem like...

The Athlon XP supports SSE, but is coding to SSE as efficient as coding to 3DNow? Among other things, it seems you might be able to take advantage of the extra floating point registers supported by 3dnow (the floating point clones of the mmx registers) as well as the SSE registers to hold more...
