How much performance gain would I get if I upgraded from a TB 1.4 to a XP 1.4?

I dont think it would be worth buying a 1.4 Xp to replace your Tbird 1.4.
You should be able to bring that 1.4 up to around ~1.6ghz without much
diffuculty. If you were going for a higher Clock speed on the XP (1.6ghz+)
then I would say go with itbut not replacing a Tbird 1.4 with a XP 1.4.

i have resigned myself to waiting. the current xp core ain't getting much higher. i bet we will see the throughbred sooner than we expect.

1.4 Ghz is already ass kickin...wise to wait for next major upgrade.
Yeah, it wouldn't be owrth the money. the only reason I got a 1600+ instead of my 1,4 T-Bird was that it suddenly died, snif, rip. And of course, that the local shops didn't have any 1800+ (or 1700+ for that matter) in stock and I needed a cpu 😛
Anyway, here some Sandra benches of both cpu's so you can see how little difference there is:
Thunderbird 1400 (10,5x133)
Dhrystone ALU 3894
Whetstone FPU 1913
XP 1600+ (1400 Mhz)
Dhrystone ALU 3931
Whetstone FPU 1929

Oh, the 1600+ is 10.5 x 133 too of course.
As you can see, there isn't much difference between the two cpus, and I don't feel any performance difference between 'em. The only program that runs faster is PhotoShop, and that's probably because of SSE, but the 1Gb ddr-ram (versus 768mb pc133 sdram) is influencing this so I cannnot really say if how much better the cpu performs.
