Not that I know about such things, but I really doubt that there would be
compatibility problems between a P4 and a Voodoo 5. I can't speak of V5s
and Athlon chips.

You are so misinformed. Clock for clock the T-bird beats a P4. My
Athlon 1.33c beats a P4 1.5 in benchmarks. If any cpu is hobbled it's
the P4 with its automatic throttling technology.
I imagine the newer P4's don't have this problem.

Never say to an Athlon owner that Pentium technology is better than Athlon
technology. That person will become offended-- as the inferior and
uncertain often do-- and shoot back like a vicious beast. :)
