Tenchustasu, <My impression of Timna was that it does have SSE, since I'd imagine it'd be based off the Coppermine-128 core.> You may be right but my understanding is otherwise. <I also suspect that the graphics engine will be an enhanced version of Whitney. For example, the graphics engine on the 810 chipset can only run at 100 MHz, while the graphics engine on Timna can run at full processor speed. How will this impact graphics performance? I don't know, but I think performance of Timna will be much better than performance of Celeron on 810.> You may be right here too but my understanding was that way back when Timna was conceived, the performance targets were rather low to make sure that there are no segmentation problems. What does this mean to performance? Hard to tell but I would guess the performance is under what the AMD alternative offers. Chuck
