tgp,"it sounds like they're using an automated script" Yes, the script is automated, as always has been in any Windows-based application benchmark. Before (in Winstones) it was a Microsoft Task Manager in background who analyzed windows messages and "pushed" virtual buttons. In BAPCO, some strange task "smXL1.exe" is sitting there. Unfortunately, I do not have the 2002, and am playing with 2001. I think there is deep misunderstanding on AMD part. I just have read the AMD presentation. They keep talking about "the time spent in each task" and "sum of task times". BAPCO just re-iterated their "concept": they do not measure task completion time, they measure "response time" (whatever it means). Just watching the "Office" part is very boring. It looks like a complete computer-illiterate moron pushes pop-up menus up and down, methodically, at the rate of about 1 second. Judging from what I see, AMD does not seem to understand the underlying issue. Or maybe it is me <g>. Regards, - Ali
