Re: "How many tricks did Intel pull to get the clock speed up? FPU off?, cache off?, supercooling, etc.? Intel has a pretty bad track record for cheating on benchmarks and MHz demos." I see your bias shines thru loud and clear. You didn't ask what tricks AMD pulled to do their 600Mhz demo. You didn't ask if AMD cooled theirs down. You falsely accused Intel of cheating simply because you are jealous they demonstrated the fastest system ever shown in Europe. Faster than the K7. You've been anxiously waiting for this and you are hurt Intel has a system running 33% faster. When you can put your bias aside and think objectively we can discuss it. I suspect this may have been a .18u version of PIII. Didn't you ever think of that? EP
