Looks Like AMD's SMP chip set is SCREWED UP !!!! How could the AMD geniuses release such a piece of crap ? AMD - executing itself flawlessly !! amdzone.com AMD 768 Chipset USB Problem Reported by: Chris Tom At: 5:15 PM Source: I've verified with AMD and several motherboard makers that there is a USB problem with the 768 Southbridge that makes up a portion of the 760MPX chipset. There are a few situations where USB may not function. This has caused some motherboard makers to delay shipment of their 760MPX chipset based motherboards while others are shipping boards with a USB 2 PCI card. Steps are being undertaken to make sure that this USB problem is solved this quarter according to Damon Munzy of AMD. AMD stresses that the USB problem is limited in nature, but they do wish to fix it regardless of its scope.

Dan, <So, the speed at which a system is able to complete software tasks isn't what's being benchmarked?> Did I say that? It's no secret that Pentium 4 requires software optimizations for maximum performance. HyperThreading takes that one step further, as threads will need to be optimized for SMT. But given that the AMDrhoids think recompiling software is a no-no, they'll have a fit over benchmarks optimized for HyperThreading. That's what I was talking about. Tenchusatsu
