Paul, Nearly every test by independent testers show that COppermine beats the pants off an equivalently clocked AthWipey in 90% of tests !!! It must be that Rambus thingy! When does T-bird arrive? Will you cease and desist this nonsense in the Thunderbird era? Scumbria

Paul, From the article you quoted to prove the superiority of Intel: The AMD Athlon processor has some core technological advantages that let it execute more RISC-like internal instructions per cycle and often decode more x86 instructions at a time. Its floating point unit is more advanced than PIII, and this is reflected in its high scores on our floating-point tests (FPU WinMark 99). Repeat after me. Athlon is faster. Athlon is faster. Athlon is faster. Scumbria
