TGPTNDR,wanna_bmw, I agree with wanna_bmw. Our systems guy thought AMD went out of business a while ago when I mentioned the Athlon ( we only buy Dell systems ). Our CIO owns an Athlon at home but he won't consider it for work. All of those guys saw the results from our tests and they were shocked but still they won't consider the Athlon until a tier-1 manufacturer makes a business SKU. I am very disappointed because we were trying to speed up this reporting system and we have two choices. 1-2 months of retooling the software to use a different print engine OR going yo Athlon based servers and get a 50-70% speed increase immediately. Sad, really. Constantine p.s. Wanna_bmw, I think the hammer will be a very good cpu following in the footsteps of the Athlon. I think that the reason AMD pushed it back a bit is to address the clock speed advantage of the P4 and they may have had to do some tricks to clock it higher. Personally I will use and recommend Athlon cpus until something better comes along or when the P4 has a Ghz or more clock speed advantage to make up for its shortcomings.
