Scumbria, <Maybe Tom's P4 love affair has ended?> Maybe not: tomshardware.com We were very surprised to learn that 99.9% of those professional graphic as well as other workstations are actually equipped with Intel processors. The OEMs that supply those systems are simply not interested in AMD's Athlon, although its performance makes it a great product for exactly this market. AMD has great difficulty to penetrate this segment where the system cost is rather negligible to the customers. For workstation buyers, Athlon's price advantage over Intel-products is of no importance, while Intel's former good name for stability and reliability and AMD's past failures seems to still sit very deep inside the decision makers minds. And take a look at WebMark2001, the latest benchmark from BAPCo: tomshardware.com Looks like Pentium 4 at 1.4 GHz beats an Athlon (w/ DDR266) at 1.2 GHz. And that particular Athlon system won't even be available until February. Can't win 'em all, eh? Tenchusatsu
