Tenchusatsu, re:<WinMag comparison>

1. I doubt that the Compaq machine has better hardware (hard disk, video card, etc) than the reference machine from Intel. (Both for example have 128M but Intel's was RAMBUS)

2. More probably, the real reason for the better performance of the Athlon is that Windows mag did not use the cooked Intel benchmark suite, but ran their own application tests.
