Paul, I see you are up late playing with yourself. Did you see this description of Athlon in the HP links: Performance levels ( back to Table of Contents ) The AMD Athlon processor is designed to set a new performance standard for x86 processors, delivering the highest available x86 performance for software applications. The AMD Athlon processor delivers integer, floating-point, and multimedia performance that is superior to any competing x86 processor. AMD Athlon and Pentium III comparison ( back to Table of Contents ) The AMD Athlon processor - the industry's first seventh-generation x86 microprocessor - significantly outperforms the sixth-generation Pentium III at the same clock speed. Specific benchmark comparisons are posted on the AMD Web site. See web link below. HP is clearly planning a big Athlon launch, and they are positioning the chip ahead of the PIII. Pravin.
