Tenchusatsu,

RE: Since I do not have a tech background, I wanted to get clear what Anand is
pointing out. It does not sound like he thinks its the Athlon chip itself that is the
problem but rather the chipset.

The chipset is probably part of the problem, but hasn't Paul and others pointed out the fact PIII's run at cpu clock for L2 cache and Athlon runs at half. From past readings here, I thought this was a hot topic - Intel choose speed with smaller cache and AMD choose larger cache slower cache access speed.

Cache is what makes a Xeon a Xeon instead of a PII, and why people pay big money for "server chips".

Cheers, Eric.

PS: Hope Anand figures it out soon, should be interesting to read his take on the subject.
