Joe, Re: "I hope you are aware of the fact that the subset of application that can benefit from SSE-2 is tiny, and on this tiny set of apps, P4 can benefit somewhat, or greatly on a further subset that also is a heavy user of bandwidth. And I hope you are aware of the fact that this kind of speed improvement will never make it to Winstone or Sysmark, mo matter how much time programmers spend on optimising vs. writing new code / debugging." Yes I am aware of that. However, 3D rendering was for a long time considered a weakness for the Pentium 4, but now it looks like the Pentium 4 can crush the Athlon, when properly optimized. There is a decent sized market for this, too. Besides that, 3D games or web content can probably benefit from this as well. Office productivity will no doubt still be behind, but maybe a 512KB L2 cache on Northwood will improve scores on Integer apps. wanna_bmw
