Hi Jim, There is no doubt that the P4 will improve with time but as far as steaming data applications, what are we talking about, 10mbs bandwidth on 'broadband connections' max on a best case. Thats the same as a regular ethernet connection. A PIII 500 will handle those tasks just as well. The bottleneck it still the connection not the CPU. As for legacy applications ie. any software sold up until yesterday...well thats what most people are using. If is takes half a year to have a recompiled application available then there is no rush. The P4 does show strength in encoding Mpeg2 streams which is fine. I am certain that a P4 would fair badly against any dual 800 in the same benchmark. The Ligos Mpeg2 encoding numbers are also very impressive on any dual cpu box. Remember that the P4 is not just competing against the Athlon but also against Intels 'legacy' workstation hardware which performs very well. It seems too early to make judgements about the benefits of the P4 as they are now. It seem that the best thing to do is wait and see. I am still waiting to be convinced. Regards, Alex
