Pete, if you have access to Microprocessor Report, you might be interested in a commentary written by Keith Diefendorff entitled "Benchmarks are Bunk." Here's the first paragraph, just for your info: The benchmark situation in the PC-microprocessor industry is a shambles. The existing ad hoc collection of benchmarks fails to shine much light on the important question of PC-processor performance. In fact, benchmarks seem to add more noise and confusion than anything else. The problem is twofold: most benchmarks don't do a very good job of measuring performance, and benchmarks are intentionally abused and misused by marketers to paint their desired picture of performance rather than the actual one. Let me know via PM if you want a copy of the article. Tenchusatsu
