Re: "Also, based on the above information I would expect a Coppermine to handily beat an Athlon on Seti (clock for clock) due to the higher speed L2. (just as a Xeon should kill a PIII)."

So running SETI on a multiprocessor system should be an excellent benchmark for memory subsystems. A great way to compare K7 & PIII.

On a seperate note, I just got a new ABIT BP6 dual celeron MB. I only have 1 celeron in it right now but I will report back when I have SMP up and running.

Steve, <I would expect a Coppermine to handily beat an Athlon on Seti (clock for clock) due to the higher speed L2. (just as a Xeon should kill a PIII).>

You said before that the Seti is a memory-bound app.
Now you are joking about Cumine and Xeon, right?
