The Athlon XP/P4 comparison was written by Frank Volkel and Bert Topelt, not Tom Pabst. Frank has shown extreme bias against AMD in the past. Look here: tomshardware.com The Intel system has a GeForce3 card with a much bigger heatsink on it. Isn't it also possible that the Asus P4 motherboard supports a seperate power connection for the AGP card while the Epox Athlon board does not? This page tomshardware.com does NOT list the power supply. Was it AMD approved? Who knows? I don't know where they think they got Micron CAS2 DDR from. There is no such thing on Crucial's (a.k.a. Micron retail) website. Other testers have found that only 128M DDR can be run CAS2. CAS2 is certainly not the default on that motherboard, but they used it anyway. Petz
