Re: "That's excellent performance by Thunderbird! When I quickly look at the benchmarks initially, I didn't realize that some, like Photoshop say "LOWER IS FASTER". It looks like Thunderbird is going to slaughter Coppemine in every single benchmark when the correct drivers become available. Coppermine performance is embarrassing in Photoshop, which used to be Intel's strength. Athlon Thunderbird 800 almost beats 1 GHz Piii." Yes Jozef we all saw that but it was done with a non production motherboard, a non production version of DirectX and graphics drivers that aren't available. In short, phoney benchmarks. I can't help but think that if Intel came out with phoney benchmarks on unavailable hardware running unavailable drivers and operating system components compared to an AMD system that Intel selected and ran, you'd be less than enthusiastic. For some unexplainable reason you don't seem to mind when AMD does it. Why is that? EP
