Pete - RE: "I used the numbers on the Moldyn Benchmark 86.02, 102% of a 550MHz Celeron performance. Thus a 1GHz PIII would match up to a 1.5GHz Williamette. Or slower than a 800MHz Classic Athlon. No reported benchmarks on Thunderbird or Duron yet (at least on the Moldyn page)."

Don't put much faith in benchmarks done on a preproduction processor. Last year, a website tested a preproduction Athlon and the scores showed a K6-III had faster FPU. Of course, we now know this would never happen.

Here is the site I am talking about - firingsquad.gamers.com

Some people believed those benchmarks were what the Athlon was really capable of and got their hopes up that Intel would easily roll over the Athlon, even though it was tested on a preproduction processor. They got a BIG surprise when the Athlon officially came out.
