Dan, You don't understand the new Intel mantra, which they borrowed from DEC. Repeat after me to achieve enlightenment: "recompile recompile recompile ........." And then: "Throw away the entire Windows software base......" Scumbria

Dan, Itanium 667 substantially outperforms a 486DX2-50. The amazing thing is that Transmeta was able to achieve much better emulation results using a dirt cheap, low powered processor. How did Intel manage to invest so much in Itanic and get such incredibly poor results? I wonder if Transmeta IA-64 emulation is also better than Itanium? Scumbria

ALibi Dan - Re: "Good News, Paul, Itanium 667 substantially outperforms a 486DX2-50." Better news, Monica - a 667 MHz ITanium has nearly DOUBLE the Floating Point Speed of a 1 GHz AthWiper !! aceshardware.com "As you can see from the results, the 1 GHz Athlon and 1.5 GHz Pentium 4 are about equal, with the Athlon slightly ahead throughout. The Itanium dominates over both, however, which isn't entirely surprising considering this benchmark is unlikely to expose any weaknesses present in early IA-64 compilers. " Paul
