Elmer - RE: "I expect the 800 MHz to be the fastest [Cumine]." Yeah, when it come out... "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." You of all people like system configuration to be disclosed, but in this case you have overlooked that there is a big difference between the two different websites' comparisons - Tom's review has 512MB RAM while that other website only used 128MB RAM. If you want a direct comparison of Athlon to Cumine, check out these benchmarks by Tom. They provide DIRECT comparisons. Note that the Kryotech systems have the L2 cache at 1/3. www6.tomshardware.com More DIRECT comparisons for you - anandtech.com
