re: 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? You proved my point exactly. Intel picked bandwidth-heavy apps to showcase their system, knowing that DDR400 was the limiting factor with the AMD system. Even so, the Intel FSB can only handle the bandwidth of 2 DDR2-533 channels. But Rev F will have 62% more bandwidth than the 4 to 6-month-later Conroe, and a separate path to I/O. Petz
