Re: "AMD Athlon, THE FASTEST PC PROCESSOR IN THE WORLD!" Steve, this is pretty pathetic. You're hanging on to something that just isn't true anymore. Coppermine beats Athlon on every single major benchmark AMD published on AMD's website, except of course the one where AMD was caught cheating.... The compiler excuse just doesn't wash either because it has no affect on all the other non-SPEC scores where Athlon got it's but kicked as well. You can keep clinging to the past if you want but your credibility just goes to zero. Athlon... Fastest x86 processor from a company who never made a penny from any of their processor designs...EVER....Second fastest overall now to the new Champ...Coppermine.... EP
