Constantine, Re: "I said 5-10 percent for the bandwidth and I was close. The average was 6 percent. I think the total ( cache+FSB ) improvement will be about 10-12 percent on average. SMT may contribute another 20% to multi-threaded apps when running on XP professional and above." Constantine, this is not what you said. Maybe I should remind you. "It will be more like 5-10 and ( 5-10 in Sandra silly bench ) respectively. I don't think the 533Mhz FSB will make a big deal on general purpose applications but the extra 256K will." It sounds like you are suggesting that only synthetic benchmarks like Sandra could even realize 5-10% with added cache, and raising the front side bus would give even less of a benefit on general purpose apps. I showed you otherwise, and now you are changing your story. The quality of your posts has really degraded as of late. wbmw
