RE:"So far, you've thrown out SysMark, Quake III, 3DMark, and now Winzip. IIRC, you still have a number of others left to go. Good luck." Nope, pretty much just Sysmark. The others are ok except that you need balance. Intel only wants to use the benchmarks over and over again that favor the P4. Sysmark2001 and the WME bechmarks are essentially the same thing as are the useless memory benches and Quake III arena. At least Sysmark was exposed but lets say a review used a couple sysmarks and a WME, then Quake III and a couple memory benches...that looks like the P4 wins 6 benches when they only really win 2 and one of those (sysmark) was a fraud... As far as Winzip...OK...might as well use Fuchis load Word time benchmark too... Jim
