Hmmm. I was going to build an Athlon system, but after seeing these Palomino SSE results, I'll wait for Palomino: lostcircuits.com Looks like AMD did a bang-up job with their SSE implementation. Link taken from AMDZone. Pravin.

Details of new SiSandra results: Athlon / 1.2GHz / AMD760 / PC2100: 1,619 Pentium 4 / 1.7 GHz / i850 / PC800: 2,060 However, what is important to notice is that using the new, enhanced version of the Sandra bandwidth benchmark yields more than a 100% increase in performance for the Athlon / DDR SDRAM combo but less than a 50% gain for the Pentium 4. Pretty impressive, can't wait for dual channel DDR results using NVidia chipset. The days of embarrassing memory performance results due to this [formerly] poorly optimized benchmark are over. Petz
