Petz, I went looking for linpack perf figures on my own and found the following: inqst.com . It's maybe not quite right to say Athlon is twice as fast on LINPACK, but then again, maybe it is, depending on conditions and size of data sets. My reading is the performance here has more to do with memory system limitations than raw processor speed . Mostly, this particular piece seems to make Rambus look sick, yet again, Nice stock to own, though. Personally, I still think AMD's got to push big for DDR and better chipsets. If AMD is lucky, Intel will continue to give desktop customers "what they want" with Rambus, but it's best to push any advantage to the limit. I don't trust Via to deliver, either. Cheers, Dan.
