Re: "We'll be polite and ignore that..." Here's what Majic wrote: "I myself am considering to buy a ppro 333, clock it to 400 or at least 350 with 100 bus, and stick it into a BX board as Abit-BH5, and buy myself a convertor from slot 1 to socket 8. I think you will notice that the ppro 333 is just as fast as the Xeon. Maybe faster on some heavy server stuff, 'cause of the absence of the mmx unit, thus reducing switching time." In other words, he thinks the CPU is faster WITHOUT the MMX instructions. Whether or not that's true, it's what he thinks. Majic WANTS a CPU without MMX. I pointed that out to Paul when he started crowing about how the overdrive chip (is it a Pentium II Overdrive or a Pentium Pro Overdrive--Paul seemed to think the latter but I guess you're right on that) DOES have MMX. Politely, Kevin PS I guess it's a Deschutes core, not Klamath, btw.
