"All that due to the graphics, huh? The differences in memory and other components had nothing to do with it?" I think you are just reinforcing my point ;-) (Since memory and hard drives are components external to CPU, while the "QuaniSpeed" is more like a measure of CPU's internal efficiency) "If AMD wants to keep up the credibility with "QuantiSpeed," they'll have to marry their fastest CPUs with the best components. Excuses like "But the graphics held it back!" are not going to fly well with the consumer." If it flies with i815 (on-chip video) systems, and with P4 with 845 SDRAM, why should AMD do any differently? - Ali

"All that due to the graphics, huh?" Actually, I need to tone down my outburst about i815E relative performance on Business Winstone. I found this: anandtech.com It is BAPCO Sysmark, it has lots of non-video-loaded stuff like speech recognition and MPEG encoding baloney, but Winstone 2001 appears to be close. My apology. However, the success of 815 does not prove that S3 Twister is fine with this regard. Judging by its Graphics Winmark scores, it really must suck in all respects. - Ali
