Scot - RE: "the "g98" result is extremely impressive; the Athlon 600 was 2.38x faster than the P3 500."

Wow!

According to the benchmark at that site, it took the PIII 500 ONE HOUR and forty one minutes to do the calculations while the Athlon 600 completed them in JUST forty two and a half minutes!

The 100MHz faster Athlon cuts down processing time by almost ONE HOUR!

Yep, that's the Athlon's FPU at its finest.

Hi Scot:

Thanks for the terrific post...What is not commonly understood by the "PWeeIII hangers-on" is that the Athlon is still a very youthful champion! Lots more of this type of news to come in Y2000!

Axis has already twigged to the Athlon...Dell and GTW will eventually be swept up by the "Axis-type" slipstream!
