Jim, the article you URL'd about Xeon boosting the stock, ostensibly because the chips in the family are very expensive, sounds right on mostly (much better performance due to double clock speed over Pentium Pro, full speed L2 cache with double capacity available vs. Pentium Pro, etc.). But what's this: "Applications like Word and Excel will also see large performance increases," Is this guy kidding, or is he trying to see who's paying attention? Word getting large performance increases from big L2 caches and 400 MHz processor speed??? Who is CPUmadness? Tony
