Brian <he is just looking for some attention> No, he is trying to leverage the Intel lie. Intel uses a cheap trick to deceit people with these benchmarks. Simply put, if you take a REALLY SLOW hard drive, the business applications will mostly WAIT for disk data, and ANY processor, no matter how fast it is internally, will post about the same score. The actual difference in processor's speed is diminished. You can equate almost any processor in this way. Add the specific P-II optimization in video drivers, and the whole speed grade gets hidden. Remember, they do not show ANY score for P5-200 for this slow system configuration. It is not easy to see, but all this is a carefully designed Intel's lie. Elmer's intent is to spread this confusion, and he must be shut off. Regards, - Ali
