Sylvester,<..this does not explain how it is possible a 50% faster FSB system with same clock CPU to be getting it's *** kicked in some and being very close in others, from a 50% slower FSB and memory system.>

Dear Sylvester, you are shouting out your deep
ignorance on the subject. The effect is well understood,
and was discussed here and there many times. The
problem is that most benchmarks are limited by the
overall system latency (memory + FSB + ..), and not
by some marketing bandwidth you are so addicted to.
The "200MHz" Athlon bus is not 50% "faster" than
P-III bus. In terms of system latency it is slower
than P-III 133FSB, and that is where your confusion
comes from.

<You sound like you own Micron or AMD stock? Maybe that is why you sound so worried and upset. So sorry...>
And you sound like you bought RMBS at $135.. That's
where your sorry is.

P.S. If you didn't get what I said about latency and
bandwidth, feel free to request additional explanation
from me.
