Charles, You wrote "one should not miss the fact that P4 is sucking wind on benmchmarks" I was stunned at how badly the P4 has done on general benchmarks. Before the P4 came out, I thought I might actually be able to use one for my horse racing research (I use regression extensively). The Mersenne Prime software is similar to mine in terms of bandwidth requirements and floating point usage. Those benchmarks show that the P4 would need about an 85% clock speed advantage over the Athlon just to match the Athlon in my application. That is an astonishing ratio. That means a 3.0 Ghz P4 would not be as fast as a 1.7 Ghz Athlon for my purposes. Wow. Mike
