Wanna: I know we've been over this before, but it sounds awfully daunting when you say that Intel is 99% unfinished in optimizing applications for Pentium 4. But when you consider that 80% of the user base for these apps use 5% of the available software, then it's easy to cater to the majority of users by only optimizing the top 5% of the popular applications. More applications are receiving optimizations all the time. Ok, let me rephrase: 99% of the "usage-hours" of FPU-intensive apps is non-optimized [for P4]. I.e. I strongly disagree that Intel has even scratched the surface of the "5% software that 80% use". The wording is a bit weird, but I hope you understand what I mean (although I know you'll disagree). -fyo
