Re: ...Or because Intel had SMP turned off for both systems so that Intel's choking FSB wouldn't be too distracting. Kinda grasping at straws there aren't you? Do you really think the Conroe system with a 1066MHz FSB and DDR2-667 is somehow "choked" compared to the FX-60 with DDR-400? Can you guess which system has more memory bandwidth, the one with DDR2-667 or the one with DDR-400? The 1066MHz FSB is more than enough for the iTunes and many other benchmarks. The super-duper-extremely "choked" Yonah with a mere 667MHz FSB slightly outperformed the 2GHz 3800+ in iTunes in Anandtech's own Yonah review and absolutely decimated the single-core 2GHz Pentium M 760. anandtech.com
