Elmer - RE: "AMD has released OFFICIAL SPEC scores for the 750MHz Athlon and although they are impressive at 33.0, they fall behind even a 700MHz 440BX based system from Dell@ 33.4"

Thanks for the heads up.

The Athlon 750 performs quite well considering it uses 2/5 clock speed L2 cache, 128MB PC100 RAM (vs 256 for the Dell), and a NON Athlon optimized compiler.

Did you note that AMD used Intel's C/C++ Version 4.0 Compiler for these tests ?
