Yousef,

Some people have been turning up the heat on Anand and he defends Winstone 99. I honestly think the guy has lost it...
Winstone 99 loads; Word, Excel, Access and Netscape Navigator and maybe Corel Draw for all I know and THEN runs tests...
Anand thinks this is a good test because "who runs one app at a time anyway". Yea boy howdy...every time I turn on my computer I run Word, Exel, Access, Corel Draw, Quicken and Netscape Navigator. Just for kicks I throw in IE4 and Quake...yea boy...I do this every time...
Who is Anand and ZD trying to kid?
So the test favors cpus with fast cache. So where's the bench that favors intger performance? Cyrix will do well at that one.
