Well, the meat of the article was that a single 266 DDR 1.2GHz Athlon compiled the kernel in 4min 51secs and the dual system compiled it in 2 min 00 secs!, more than a 100% performance improvement. (Normally one expects somewhat < 100% performance improvement). This shows that the point to point architecture is alleviating some bottlenecks in the front side bus. Impressive, as the compilation is a VERY memory (and integer) intensive operation. I think that the dual DDR athlon platform will spank the funny Pentium III "coppermine (256K L2)" XEONS silly in most benchmarks (specially database ones). TG
