RE:"I don't think that's quite fair. You might have a point when talking about some applications, but I think Intel has done well so far in getting many popular consumer apps to be optimized for the new micro-architecture" Well, I think it is. And on top of that I think a CPU that has to rely on a crutch like SSE2 to get good benchmarks is a poorly designed chip. Kind of like...bragging up your car engine horsepower by reving it up on methanol. Then comparing it to one that runs on ordinary gasoline. Jim
