<Face it, the new chip set is providing very marginal improvements>

I'd sure like to see the "improvements" that we're just bound to see from PC133 or DDR SDRAM.

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

Athlon does well despite the PC100 SDRAM that it is currently attached to. It will do even better with RDRAM. Perhaps the performance benefit will be greater for an Athlon system compared to a Pentium IIIB system. (Though I don't know about Pentium IIIE or IIIEB, a.k.a. Coppermine.)
