Re: Look at what Lightwave 7.0b does when used on other than the Intel recommended image set. Even in Photoshop, a very frequent 1 degree rotation done all of the time when an image is scanned (alignment and registration is never perfect when scanning), is much faster on AXP than any P4 Pete, You're just going to have to get used to working with Intel systems. They are great performers as long as you remember to re-run the multi-pass, data optimizing compiler each time your data (document) changes. For example, you'll just have to learn to always, before opening a Word document or Access database, re-compile Office for the new document (you do have full source code for Microsoft Office, don't you?). Then open the document with the re-compiled version of Office that has been optimized for the particular data you are working with. As you edit and add to the document, you should periodically re-compile Office to optimize it for the changed data. Surely you are willing to accept this minor inconvenience in order to gain full performance from your Intel product. Hey buddy, if you don't like it, buy something else! :-)

Then everyone wins. AMD gets more ASP, Intel gets that entrepenurial fire of its youth and the customers get the results from the race. AMD makes money for us, Intel makes money for us and the results allow the customers to increase productivity to the point where even our poor live far better than the richest among us. Pete -- Oh please.... Give me a break. I'm an Engineer of Semiconductor Process, not an Engineer of Social Change, so spare me the "Let's save the World" speech. And while you may have had several POV from a Software Engineers POV, I make Semiconductor Chips, and I have for the past decade, INCLUDING 3 Startups. The first as a Fab Tool Operator, and now twice as Engineering. So I think that there is little, if anything, that you can school me on about how Fabs operate, or how Semiconductors are made. By the way, you got how intel does it..... All Wrong. Semi
