I just thought of a great way to build a high performance PIII graphics benchmark. 1. Build a large set of display lists, located in contiguous memory space. 2. Load them into dram. 3. Stream them into the L2. (Can this be done?) 4. Do a lot of transformations on them. 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 many times. This will give Intel a "killer" graphics benchmark, which has nothing to do with real world graphics performance. What does everybody think about this idea? I suspect we will start seeing some of this nonsense pretty soon, as justification for the bloated price tag. Scumbria
