Fyo, Re: There are also a variety of games where the P4 is faster - and not only Quake3 ;-). Speaking of "Quake 3" (this is completely unrelated to your original discussion with Constantine): An Athlon XP 1.53 GHz will be probably faster in "Quake III" than a 2 GHz Pentium 4! Just have a look at Anand's nForce article: anandtech.com So in "Quake III" a 1.4 GHz Thunderbird scores 223.6fps when equipped with a KT266A motherboard. Now let's have a look how much faster a Palomino is clock-for-clock in Quake 3 on a KT266A motherboard: anandtech.com It's 5.75%. So we can expect a 1.4 GHz Palomino to reach about 223.6fps * 1.0575 = 236.46 fps. Let's see how this compares to a 2 GHz Pentium 4 on a i850 motherboard with dual channel Rambus memory: anandtech.com That's 240.5 fps, only 1.7% faster than a hypothetical 1.4 GHz Palomino. So a 1.53 Ghz Athlon XP will easily beat the 2 GHz P4. Astonishing, isn't it? (of course it won't help AMD at all in selling their processors) Andreas
