RE:"This was a guess based upon considering the triple pipelined, out of order execution capable, awesome floating point processor in the K7. The current PIII has only two pipes, not three, and does not handle out of order execution well."... I even venture to say that there are some FPU benchmarks that don't take advantage of that third pipe, somehow. Probably some programs too. Will be interesting to see the spin Intel puts on all this, not to mention the test net pages. Jim
