Cirruslvr - <What do you deem more important with Cuontimemine considering the Athlon's performance vs. the current PIII - ability to scale MHz, or ability to increase performance?> This is really hard for me to answer, at this point, because the Coppermine benchmarks aren't known yet. You make a valid argument, in a purely hypothetical sense.... The following is a purely hypothetical question for the sake of argument: What if one processor beats the other in benchmarks clock for clock but the other processor equals or beats the performance at a higher MHz, and great availability? Again, just for the sake of argument. I don't know (and neither do you :-))the Coppermine benchmarks, so any following discussion would have to be in a hypothetical sense. PB
