Neil, Re: "Of course he is. As far as he's concerned, for his software, the P4 2GHz is no better than the PIII 1GHz. The same is true for all Linux / FreeBSD / OpenBSD / NetBSD users, which is something that I would be concerned about if I were Intel." You have a couple problems with this. First, the guy was using dual 1.7GHz Xeons, and second, he was only testing trivial benchmark applications - "ubench" and "unixbenchmark". The most important thing, though, is that this gentleman had no problem getting in contact with the Intel C++ Compiler for Linux 5.0, which changed his system from underperforming by 20% - to overperforming by 30%! That's a significant change - and just the result of recompiling. If I were Intel, the only thing I'd be concerned about is getting the word out on how great their compiler is. Re: "The situations even more underwater when it comes to Itanic." Only if people are buying Itanium systems to run "ubench" and "unixbenchmark". LOL. wbmw
