Re: ", I am lead to believe that the PIIIB (or Coppermine in this company's incorrect view) is the processor Chris was talking about when he said that Coppermine has a "significant" performance advantage over the current PIII and Athlon. "

I'm not as convinced as you are. While he may be confused about the name I don't see any way that a non CuMine PIII would jump from slower than to "significantly faster than" an Athlon, simply by going to a 133MHz FSB even if that were on a BX motherboard.

Re: "Now, do you mean to tell me that a PIIIB will be from 13-40% faster than a normal PIII? And that would just be to match the Athlon. Add more % if his "significant" is to have any meaning."

13% is conceivable but I think 40% is out of reach. Anyway, I'm not trying to tell you anything. I just showed you what someone else was reporting. It may turn out that he is wrong but I don't fully agree with your theory.
