Milo, Re: "Wanna you specifically said: Sorry, the Pentium 4 is the one currently kicking the Athlon butt in the majority of tests right now, and they are doing it only partially due to the benefit of greater memory bandwidth." The statement is ambiguous. I had meant it to say, "the Pentium 4 is the one currently kicking the Athlon butt in the majority of tests right now, and they are doing it only partially due to the benefit of greater memory bandwidth over the Athlon." Northwood and Willamette bandwidth is greater than that of the Athlon, but the benefit to performance is only partially what is allowing the Pentium 4 to outperform. My point to bringing this up was that I don't think that bandwidth becomes overly necessary until you get to higher frequencies, and then it becomes vitally necessary. wbmw
