Hi Tenchusatsu; So the processor bus is occupied only 7% of the time? That sounds like an over-estimate for they typical computer, which spends more time waiting for disk drive or modem stuff than anything else.

Face it, the new chip set is providing very marginal improvements, and some decreases in performance. Particularly with game software, the tests are very relevant.

If the tests are so bad, how come the Athlon comes out so good in them?
