Neil, why don't you read your own link? First of all, the guy is using a version of the gcc compiler that is older than the Pentium 4 itself. All three responses to the guy mentioned this. Second, the guy did NOT get 50% higher performance by going to AMD. Instead, he got 50% higher performance by switching compilers. Nowhere did he ever mention AMD. Third, only one benchmark out there is artificially skewed for Pentium 4 (SYSMark 2001), and even that problem was addressed months ago. And fourth, when AMD starts touting the performance of recompiled x86-64 apps, you'll start calling compiler optimizations a sacrement. Tenchusatsu
