Itanic benchmarks posted! 667 mhz processor almost matches Duron 700! jc-news.com Found this after checking out JC's on your note. "Primordia", a physics benchmark, it sounds FP intensive. Lots of good looking Athlon numbers here, the top cumine listed is a 733 i840 system, which almost matches an athlon 750, and is faster that a 933 cumine on an 815 board. Looks bandwidth dependent, which doesn't seem to help the Itanic. Search for "Itanium" to see the awesome number buried in the pack. Cheers, Dan.
