PB, re 840 pricing well that will have to be seem.. but a dual rambus setup seems a tad expensive to me, so either Intel will eat teh cost of the consumer will.. you dont get it for nothing: re: I didn't expect Coppermine to win every single sites benchmark wars. But I will tell you this, the results are a lot closer than folks were speculating. Some sites are even calling the i820 / Cumine the choice for serious gamers in the high end market. Why would they do this? Well go ahead and quote Sharky then <G> I can quote Tom at toms hardware who says Athlon is still the only REAL choice. I expected (and I believe I posted that on this forum) that Coppermine would close the integer/office apps gap. I also said that SHOULD Intel use SSE their FP performance would be competitive, or maybe even better. They did and it is. Now we wait for another road where EVERYONE can use the intel prefetchign compiler (you don't think AMD implemented prefetch sse instruction in the Athlon for no reason did you!). Steve
