Scumbria, Re: though the Athlon system did not use DDR, making the comparison somwhat skewed Anand used the MSI K7TPro266 motherboard (KT266) which has DDR memory support. The performance of that chipset has been questionable at best so far, though. Andreas

Scumbria, re: "It looks like P4 is now competitive with Athlon." Intel is saying 2 GHz this quarter, I'm guessing that will be the top speed for the 4th quarter selling season. Also guessing that 1.6 GHz to 1.7 GHz will be at the volume price point (???). It seems that Rambus capacity is increasing, I think the prices are coming down. Thinking out loud, but trying to get an idea of how the 4th quarter will shape up. I think the most important thing is to get XP out the door. A couple of articles in this mornings WSJ suggested that injured companies will be pressuring the new Judge to delay the release. Any delay could slow PC purchases. It will be interesting to see how P4 ~1.7 GHz performs with SDRAM, when it's available. John

SCUMbria- Here's a better review - The Pentium 4 cleans up in about 95% of all benchmarks. firingsquad.gamers.com Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz Review And a nice quote: "Temperature I must say that the power hungry P4 runs remarkably cool. I must compliment Intel on designing a CPU that can run very cool with a retail heatsink. AMD seems to be pushing their core design a little far these days, with the Athlon 1400 producing over 70 watts of heat! It is nice to see that Intel is able to produce a high clock speed processor and still remain very thermally efficient. The upcoming Northwood processor, which is going to be the 478 pin version of the P4 shrunk down on a .13 micron die, should be able to run even cooler with a standard heatsink. Overall, the P4 looks like it has a very bright future ahead of it without having to worry about heat related stability problems."
