Re:
Benchmark Test Results
Manufacturer: Falcon Northwest

I was surprised to see this review was written by Loyd Case. I've always considered him biased towards Intel. He has yet to put an Athlon in for his 'Ultimate Gaming Rig' for one reason or another. I expect this to change when Spitfire, Thunderbird and supporting chipsets/mobos come out. Still, it's always nice to see kind words that cross the grain of a writer's apparent bias.

I'm really looking forward to DDR support for the Athlon chips for the flexibility it will give in building a system with more bells and whistles (or maybe include a color printer) for the same price as a comparable (albiet slightly slower) Intel based system.

Good luck to all the longs tomorrow.
