RE:"That's because the 6x86 offered lower overall performance, not just lower MHz." True overall but I'm sure you will remember that the 6x86 was the champ at integer. Did well in a lot of those old Winstone scores... OTOH, Something happens when an Intel chip gets beat soundly on certain benchmarks.... The benchmarks that "matter" seem to evolve to favor the Intel chips strength. This happened with the 6x86 and the K6... And unless it's questioned vigorously it will happen with the P4 versus the Athlon... All The P4 has to do is win 1/2 the benchmarks and the Mhz will take care of the rest. This is why I seek to bust the FUD... Jim
