> The PIV is definately dissapointing at legacy stuff. Don't call it "legacy". Call it "mainstream". Calling it "legacy" makes it sound like it's "on the way out". Many applications that are being branded as "legacy" applications are simply being called that to make the P4 look good. I think that "legacy" today applies to any application which isn't by nature designed to primarily stream data from memory. :p > I think the SSE2 stuff is pretty impressive as shown by the SPEC and quake scores. SSE2 doesn't accelerate Quake-style floating-point calculation. > I suspect palamino may be a dissapointment to AMD diehards Most AMD diehards seem to be expecting that Pally will be a lower power, higher MHz Thunderbird. Such people will likely be surprised on the upside.     -JC
