RE:"On the other hand, Tom's benchmarks put the 1.419 GHz Tualatin in a too good light because the speed was reached by overclocking of the FSB to 166 Mhz. This gave it an unfair advantage." Well, I was wondering about that. Thanks for bringing it to light. Toms site has suffered in recent months. Doesn't seem like he's has the time. His selection of benchmarks has come into question as well... He acts like Quake3 is the best way to benchmark any system. Then compares a bus overclocked Tualatin to a normally clocked 1.33 Athlon (not AMDs top speed) and a 1.7 P4. You ought to give him a call... Jim
