re : Note: I left out the FP scores. Athlon wins there. You mean the huge gaping gap of 4.5 points ? (compared to a .4 "Gap" in the specint..:) Coppermine-733 specfp_base95 = 19.5 Athlon-750 (on Irongate C6) specfp_base95 = 24 Furthermore you can expect the Specint to be on AMD's hand when they get fullspeed l2 caches , or for that matters, 133 /266 memory/bus (or DDR memory) . And the FP hole will only grow. Michael.

How about Athlon with PC100 RAM vs Coppermine on PC100 RAM? Actually, I don't even care about that... MHZ sells-(TM McMannis)...and 750 is greater than 733, and it's available and it runs with cheap RAM. BTW, I just got back from a Gateway store...They had one Celeron 400 system for $999. Next cheapist was a Pentium III-500 system for $1686. Nothing inbetween. They had a Floppermine 700 system for $3000. If anyone needed an Athlon system it's Gateway...Somewhere between $1000 and $1686 and it's a runaway hit. If Gateway doesn't get it soon they aren't too smart... The place was empty...the Salesman didn't know anything official about the Athlon/Gateway system...just off the net.
