Carl, re: (What does that expression mean, anyway???) take it with a grain of salt - cum grano salis - to accept a statement with skepticism [This expression comes from the custom of adding salt to a meat which might otherwise taste rather bad. Thus, if we add a grain of salt to a suspicious statement, we might be able to accept the statement a little bit better!] (From "About the Latin Language") BTW, an interesting article at The Register, re: BAPCO. (SYSMARK2000, etc.) theregister.co.uk A search for BAPCo returns the following address: Business Applications Performance Corporation (BAPCo) (BAPCO-DOM) 2200 Mission College Blvd MS SC12-608 Santa Clara, CA 95052 Whilst a search for Chipzilla tells us they're to be found at: Intel Corporation (INTEL-DOM) 2200 Mission College Blvd, P.O. Box 58119 Santa Clara, CA 95052-8119 So will the new benchmarks be "taken with a grain of salt?" <g> Everything's suspect in this Industry these days. JMHO's
