This new Winstone 99 is very interesting. Seems like every year with a new Winstone it seems to favor Intel chips. Another report using Winstone 98 showed the Pentium II clocked at 500 and the AMD k2-500 roughly the same. 32 vs 31.2. Now, here comes a new Winstone and all a sudden the AMD-K6-2 at 450 is more than a few winstone % slower than a Celeron at 450. Same thing happened when they went from Winstone 97 to 98. Maybe they include more 32 bit apps every year? I wonder where Anand got his engineering same? Why not a production sample? Seems to me that it AMD should hand pick a chip for the board wizards to clock...yet the one Anand had would only clock to 450....not to mention Anand seems to be in love with the overclocked CeleronA-300. In perspective though, "Megahertz sells" (TM-McMannis) so the 400 will sell well...too well right now as it seems they can't make enough. Jim
