Dan, <I also find older benchmarks (that may have been tuned for something, but likely not the current offerings from AMD or Intel) to be better predictors of actual performance than newer benchmarks> That's no surprise. History has shown that AMD's processors always favored older benchmarks of that time while Intel's always favored newer benchmarks. This has held true for K6 vs. Pentium MMX, K6-2 vs. Pentium II, Athlon vs. Pentium III, and now Palomino vs. Pentium 4. Let the conspiracy theories fly! Tenchusatsu
