Elmer, If you use both PC100 memory in your comparisons, Athlon Wins the contest all the time.

It take a 133Mhz FSB and RDRDRAM coupled to Non-CopperMine to even go toe to toe with Athlon.

I'd say all tests show Athlon is a much better CPU when just comparing Cores.

Athlon just needs the same tweeks as Non-CopperMine to leave it in the dust. i.e.
Integrateded L2 Cache 133/266Mhz FSB, and DDR or RDR memory.

It's tweeks are coming very soon. KX133 in the pipeline. Micron starting to ramp up DDR in 1H '00. Copper Chips in June/July '00

Elmer - RE: "In fact the 800MHz Athlon performs about on a par with the 750 or 733MHz CuMines."

(Although I don't agree with the statement)

So THAT must be why 800MHz PIIIs are so rare! You must have given this marketing suggestion to Intel. Good Job Elmer, I am sure Intel is thankful because they now have an excuse for why it is taking Dell so long to ship 800MHz systems. ;)
