Sal - But for a number of reasons (i.e., that damn system bus that's been stuck at 66mhz forever), the real-world performance delta when the CPU is inside a box (any box) is much smaller. Ohhh, sweeping generalization time, eh Sal? I wouldn't say any box, PCI based boxes maybe, but not any box. Take a look at the STREAMS benchmark numbers for an example of what I mean. OTOH, the assembly posted earlier will fit nicely into L1 cache, and wouldn't likely suffer from the deleterious effects of CPU <=> Memory bandwidth starvation. -justinb
