Joe, SpecInt simply won't work as there were no existing entries which even compare the different Athlon architectures at the same speed... let alone comparable system configurations. I will look at the Anandtech review again and see which benchmarks seem meaningful wrt cache (ie. those with significant performance boosts) but I believe they will all be lower than the healthy 13% from Dell's P4-2/2A SpecInt submissions. -PT
