Eracer: The benchmarks selected favored the abilities of T2600. No benchmarks were used that it couldn't run. Second, I haven't used Mathematica and know little about its idiosyncracies either. Hey a test for 1.75MB of L2 cache would be a win for the T2600. One that used only 3Dnow would be a big loss for T2600. Some that are video card bottlenecked would show a Sempron 2600+ is as fast as a FX-57. The benchmarks need to be weighted of course for any meaningful results. Xbit labs have weighted them already by not showing the results of many of them and thus it is hard to take out those biases. That usually makes an even weighting impossible. Pete
