Re: "Elmer, I see the Mac G3-4 seem to kick both asses(P-III and Athlon) and I also see a trned that the faster a P-III gets the slower it is in SETI times.? at least in many cases, that seems to be the case...or is this just a bad test space with enormous variance in systems making side by sides not too valid?"

The Xeons beat the G3-4s pretty easily and as for the other benchmarks, there are so many combinations of MBs, FSB speeds etc etc it's hard to follow except that the Athlons really suck wind. So much for those who claimed CuMine would lose head to head with unoptimized code. I wish I could show you what Intel's compilers and tools do for these scores but I can't until they are made public. It's nothing short of amazing.
