McMannis - The Bam Bam Merrill Flynched Ja Ja Man !! Re: "Didn't you read my post? The Dell 1000 Mhz floppie unit had a proprietary video card w/64mhz DDR RAM...no other unit had that much....could that have had anything to do with it's slightly faster benchmarks on certain tests?" So what ? Is that your ALIBI for the AthWIPER being slower than a Coppermine in ALL TESTS but two? DId you read my post ? By the way - looks like your Merrill FLynching has now cost you about $61 in lost upside on Intel - not to mention the TAXES you have to pay !!!! Cheers, Bam Bam !!! Paul

Jim, <The Dell 1000 Mhz floppie unit had a proprietary video card w/64mhz DDR RAM...no other unit had that much> Two questions: 1) Was it proprietary? I thought it was a common high-end video card, i.e. something that is available off-the-shelf. 2) Why don't the other gigahertz systems have similar high-end components? Trying to save a few bucks here and there really doesn't make any sense for a hot-rod PC. Tenchusatsu
