Process Boy, re:<don't know [re: AMD's benchmarks on web page], they didn't post the score> Who cares about absolute scores! The Intel-a-felons are hiding behind a smokescreen. Every score in the S.P.E.C. database uses a different hardware platform and memory configuration. The AMD scores at least use the same memory (128M), hard disk (Western Digital), video card (TNT2 Ultra) and OS. (The AMD scores are apparantly an average of the WinNT and Win98 results.) BTW, Elmer apparently found a Xeon system made by Siemens whose SPECint was 0.1 spec-point higher (about 0.5%) than the unit Dirk Meyer used for comparison. Whoop-do-doo! If you look at the SPEC database, that unit has 256M of RAM. Petz
