Wanna_bmw: Why is WME weighted 60% in the benchmark? Would you like it if the benchmarks used for comparisons use 3DNow and does not use SSE or SSE2, "just to be fair"? Why is P4 so slow on that common consumer task of rotating a scanned image 1 degree to make it straight? Would you like the majority of benchmarks to do lots of shifts, rotates, branch randomly and do lots of x87 and 3DNow code? That is the same as what you are saying for the P4 done for the Athlon. I'm sure that I could come up with a few dozen programs that absolutely hate the architecture of P4 and show it so poor at doing tasks that a 600MHz Duron beats a 2GHz P4. That would be as fair as the benchmark suites promulgated by you. I just do not think that is fair but, you do. Pete
