rsi_boy: that's a pretty flaky benchmark. You can't compare results using two different video drivers. For all we know, the Pentium 4 would have achieved equal or greater boost from the same optimizated driver + moderate overclocking. Agreed. Not a very good benchmarking methodology. The only interesting thing it shows is that Athlons are still limited by fsb. 333 can't come too soon. Esp. with hardware prefetching, bandwidth becomes extremely important a whole range of applications. Fortunately for AMD, Intel has pushed 533MHz FSB to 2H02 sometime (early 2H02, IIRC). -fyo
