Scumbria - RE: "Willy can barely support one thread, much less two." LOL! The reason I said that is because I thought Foster is based on the Willy core, like current Xeon and PIII. But then again, Foster is supposed to have 603 pins while Willy has about 423. The Athlon blows away Willy in a few individual SPECint tests, and Willy blows away the Athlon is a few also. I'm gonna compare the gain from the 820 to 840 chipset and see if those test are the ones in which Willy blows away the Athlon to see if it is the bandwidth that gives Willy the higher scores. Hmm, I could also compare the two Athlon systems...

Scumbria, Ace's picked on this, in aceshardware.com or the Register picked it up from Aces, or something. If you tire of political, er, conflict, you can take it up with the dread Paul DeMone on aceshardware.com . Choose your poison, I guess. Cheers, Dan.
