Scot - Re: "Including Spec-95 scores....is this the same benchmark EP was blathering about? Whatever, this version shows the 750 over the 733 in both floating point and integer." If you want another comparison use the AMD benchmarks for the 750 against the Intel Benchmarks for the 733. Each should put their best foot forward. amd.com intel.com SPECfp95 -> AMD-750 24.3 Intel-733 28.1 Whoa, what happened here !! If you look at the AMD benchmark configurations you discover that an old driver was used, DX6.1A instead of the current DX7 driver. The DX6 driver enables the AMD fp extensions but NOT the Intel fp extensions. The current DX7 driver enables BOTH the AMD and Intel extensions. This is a very nice way to rig the benchmark results. Generally, the benchmark comparison game is played with more subtle bias than this. It will be interesting to see some independent comparisons of the AMD 750 and the Intel 733
