Ban Ban Blow Hard Dan the Monica Man - Re: "The Athlon MP machines substantially outperform anything Intel can produce, and cost less." WRONG !!! "In real world multi-threaded workstation applications, we see a very clear advantage going towards the Pentium 4 Xeon. While the Athlon MP manages to outperform the Xeon in the Microstation test, in Photoshop and Visual C++, the Dual P4 Xeon simply gives incredible performance. As big of a Photoshop geek I am, the scores for the Xeon certainly impressed me. " gamepc.com.

Dan, Re: "gamePC followed Intel's orders to use a 5.0 benchmark when no one else has used anything but 6.0 for years" You are spouting more lies and misinformation. Anandtech used the exact same version of C++ as GamePC. gamepc.com anandtech.com If you read, they are both using the same Winstone 99 Multiprocessor Test, which uses Microsoft C++ 5.0. Anandtech does not use C++ 6.0. You just can't justify the Athlon's crappy benchmark scores, so you are blaming it on intervention from Intel. What a dirty, rotten liar you are. wbmw
