Comments:
[ Dec 13,99 - Dec 20,99]

o All motoherboards are now under $140 except ASUS ($148)
o Number of K7 mobos listings increased by 11% from the previous week.
o Number of ASUS listings tied with FIC at 46 each.
o Finally there is a upward movement in MSI, BCM and BIO listings.
o Within the last 6 weeks, mobo avg cost decreased by $30 ~(20%). This
could be one of the helping factors behind the Athlon stable prices.

Re: "Here's a list of applications BAPCo SYSmark 2000 uses. I think Adobe uses SSE, but I'm not sure about the others."

1 out of 12 may use SSE instructions. And Intel is 1 of 12 members. This is the proof that Intel own's the benchmark and it is stuffed with Intel optimized code?
