Elmer, RE:"The Xeon will show very little advantage to the Dixon on Winstone99, or any other benchmark intended to measure desktop performance. Those who are gladly shelling out the $bucks$ to buy Xeons are not using them for such applications. Haven't we been through this before?".... I haven't been through it before but I'm sure you have. As a matter of fact we've been having to live with your bitterness over being let go from AMD for a long time...far to long...let it go Elmer...life goes on... Jim

Elmer, Enjoy your overclocking while you can... Intel doesn't want you to get a deal... "By Tom Pabst Intel The news I have to tell is not really from Comdex, but it's most important to many of you. The future Intel chips will put a final end to overclocking. New Intel processors won't only come with the already common multiplier-locking, but making an Intel CPU faster by increasing the bus speed will also not be possible anymore. Some new circuits on the chips will make sure that the system remains dead if you raise the bus speed from e.g. 66 to 75 MHz or from 100 to 112 MHz." Jim
