Elmer, comparing Winstone from different test is IMO meaningless. As there is many other factors that affect the result. Gary

Re: Vusiness Winstone If the website results are using Windows 98 as the OS, then the reported PII results are right in line with Tom, 33.5 vs. 34.3: www5.tomshardware.com Getting nervous? Kevin

Elmer - RE: "Looks to me like the Intel scores are bogus if you take a look at Toms Business Winstone 98 scores at the link below. You AMD guys better do the hoping that the K7 score is incorrect too. Using the originally posted number of 41.6 for the 500 Mhz K7, that puts it in a virtual tie with the 450Mhz Celeron which scores 41.5 according to Tom. Not exactly what the hypsters have been claiming. The K7 would lose to a 500 Mhz PII by about 5%. If anyone has more recent scores please post. www5.tomshardware.com; Tom's system used 128MB RAM with a SCSI hard drive. That website didn't tell what the K7 system had in it, but the PIII system had only 32MB RAM and what I believe to be a non SCSI hard drive. Message 8825772 But Tom's test used a Riva 128 video card while the PIII test used a faster Riva TNT video card.
