Cirruslvr, thanks for condensing Anand's results. I think I know why the CuMine likes the GeForce 256 more than the TNT2 Ultra. Its simply because the GeForce offloads so much of the floating point calculations from the CPU that the superior FP performance of the Athlon doesn't make any difference. The improvement of AGP 4X versus AGP 2X on the (non-available) i820 platform results affects the end result more than the better FPU of the Athlon. Of course, we'd probably find that a Celeron 500 performs just as well. Petz
