I asked our hardware guys when we can get a 2.2Ghz NW here to test it. I'll keep you guys posted. Really??? Then why have you already decided it's slower than an XP2000+" "I consider the Athlon 2000+ equal or faster than the P4 in real world apps not made up benches. I know wbmw disagrees with me but our apps coded in high level languages like c++ and delphi show that to be true." EP

Constantine, Re: "I knew you would diss me on my comment." When you make comments like this: "that CPU [Pentium III 1GHz] may beat the 2.2Ghz NWood in all benchmarks except the Sandra memory bandwidth bs. Maybe Intel should throw another 512K on that CPU and run with it." Don't be surprised to get a few unwelcome comments. (j/k) :-) Actually, I figured you were probably joking, but I wanted to see your reaction, anyway. If Northwood does happen to outperform the Athlon on those horrendous apps that your company uses, then I might be rather surprised, myself. wbmw
