Re: "Elmer, looks like the 733MHz PIII is still going to be Intel's overall fastest processor performance-wise." I expect the 800 MHz to be the fastest. Re: "If you haven't seen the numbers yet they are all here - www6.tomshardware.com; Nice to see all of the CuMines there, even the BX MB versions beat even the 800MHz Athlons in SYSMark98 Win98 which scores only 307. hardware.jatekok.hu That's the benchmark where AMD's phoney scores for the CuMine were only 283!

Cirruslvr, re:<Did you notice that the Cumine 750 is EQUAL to or SLOWER than the 733 on the i820 AND i840 motherboards in many of Tom's tests?> Yes, memory speed is not all there is! Front side bus speed is important, even if the memory is running at the same speed. I noticed the same thing on Anand's graphics board tests. In many tests, both the CuMine 600 and CuMine 700 got the same frame rate at a high resolution leading you to think that this was the max for a given graphics card. But when run on an Athlon system the frame rates were higher. I think the AGP performance of the AMD 750 chipset is better than BX or i820 because of the 200 MHz FSB. Petz
