Re: "I really don't understand where you are coming from" I know. It's obvious. Re: "A $1500 P4 box scores lower than an $800 Athlon box on most "business" benchmarks. PIII is too slow to keep up with Athlon" A K6 scored higher on DOS applications when the PPro first came out. Those who, like you, kept looking backwards rather than forwards were certain the K6 was the better design. The P6 split transaction bus looked like a real loser when it first came out because people looked at how it compared to the old bus and it was actually a little slower. Backward looking people couldn't envision what it would do in the future and condemned it as simply a stupid way to lock AMD out of Intel's sockets. Now that exact same bus architecture accounted for 85% of the servers sold over the last year, but those in the know called it a mistake. They missed something by looking backwards instead of forwards. Here we are again with the P4 and right on queue you compare it to the old computing model while calling their designers idiots for not using your design technics. It doesn't run today's business apps as well as the Athlon so you assume in 5 years we will still be running the same old business applications we are today on computers that look essentially like they look today and Intel will do nothing to improve or enhance the very first silicon of the P4 generation. Scumbria you can't out type your wordprocessor today so what makes you think you'll be able to in 5 years? Your thinking is as limited as those who condemned the PPro 5 years back. Unfortunately for you, time moves forward rather than backwards. If you're so brilliant and successful, why do you keep having to jump companies? EP
