Well pardon me, 750Mhz, not 950. Well who ------- well cares about raw processor speed anyway, you know full well that one network packet coming in, or one byte read from a disk, makes the processor speed completely irrelevant. And sure, you can concoct examples where the slowdown will be greatest, but who ------- well cares about those in real life apart from the SpecFP designers and PC-Week.

Go run some SpecFP tests on your Athlon and don't come around here no more until you have something interesting to say.
