Dear Elmer: Ok, I see your point. But you are incorrect as well. The Coppermine was running on 256MB PC100 on a BX. 19.8 SPECbase 95fp on that platform is probable given previous published benches. Do you acknowledge that 4.5 may not generate Athlon code, thus 4.0 is the latest compiler that runs on BOTH processors. Thus from AMD's point of view, 4.0 is the last valid compiler given that runs on both CPUs. This is what a developer would require on a USABLE compiler. A German Web site ran SPEC on Coppermine and Athlon at same clock on gcc running on Red Hat Linux, I believe. Coppermine was trounced. Do you know of any other published benches were run on both machines using the same third party compiler such as gcc, Visual C++ (No Intel SPEC plugin), WATCOM, or Solaris. This would settle the Fairness test. Pete
