Scumbria: <Repeat after me. Athlon is faster. Athlon is faster. Athlon is faster. > Yes it is. But users use systems, not CPUs alone. And it become apparent that the current AMD systems suck. At 100MHz. Unfortunately. And yes, the plain boxmaker Dell has won: zdnet.com But again, their 866-MHz machine posts roughly the same high scores as their 1000r machine, in almost every benchmark. This is a clear proof that the winner is the Dell's proprietary videocard and unspecified model of hard disk, and the Cumines play a minor role in all that. All this proves only that Dell's systems engineering is superior to GTW or CPQ or AMD at this point.
