Elmer - RE: "The more I look at this data the less I am impressed. The 504mhz Katmai scored 34.3 on Business Winstone 98, however other sites show a 400mhz PII scoring 38.9 under NT. tomshardware.com Are we to believe that a Katmai that runs a 25% higher clock than a PII scores 13% lower? I don't think so. It would appear that the test was run under win95/8 so I won't pay any attention to the scores. A PII runs this benchmark 35% faster under NT so lets see some NT scores. " I believe the guy didn't run Business Winstone 98 on NT. Why? Because of what you pointed out - the numbers don't measure up. The Katmai and K7 numbers fit the numbers scored on Win 9X. Look at the link you have posted and this one 206.132.42.114 I can understand you thinking it was run on NT after you saw the K7's score. ;) Speaking of the K7, what do you think about its score? Also, a real Katmai, run at 5x100, will score lower than what that guy got. This is because he has the bus speed at 112 (4.5x112). This makes the PCI bus, AGP card, and memory run 12% faster (37 1/3 vs 33 1/3) than at "normal" clock speed. When the 133MHz bus hits the Katmai, the PCI bus and AGP card will still run at 33MHz (133/4) while the memory will of course run at 133MHz. The PCI bus and AGP of the K7 will run at 33MHz also (200/6).
