Ahhh, I see, so you're setting up a straw-man to win the argument. The 1.0GHz K7 has been available for a year whereas the P4 in any speed grade has only been around for 5 months. 1.2GHz K7 vs. 1.3-1.5GHz P4 is quite a bit fairer and covers the same time frame. My earlier post specified in the last six months. But, use whatever time frame you want. Let's even give it several more months. Are you planning a P4 upgrade soon??? Ha! LOL! I just find it pretty strange that no one (that I recall) on this thread has come forth (in ANY preceding discussion) so far and admitted buying a P4..... No more/no less. THE WATSONYOUTH

Fin, Here is an exchange I had with Paul about 18 months ago, which sums up a lot of my views.

I've been explaining this to you for 2 years now. Memory latency is critical for many benchmarks, including SPEC. The low latency L2 on Coppermine gives it a big advantage over Athlon. Unfortunately for Intel, low latency CPU functions tend to limit clock speed. Is this the case with Coppermine? Message 11959366 Scumbria
