Benjamin, do you realize that it would take a 1500 MHz Coppermine to keep up with a 1000 MHz K7 I appreciate your enthusiasm for K7- which I share too. However, I don't think that bus speed will significantly impact the performance of PC benchmarks like Winstone. But it will be very important when K7 hits the server market next year! Scumbria

Benjy - Re: "... do you realize that it would take a 1500 MHz Coppermine to keep up with a 1000 MHz K7? It's all in the system bus speed, fellas. Last time I checked, 133 MHz wasn't 200 MHz" Perhaps you can explain to everyone how an Intel 400 MHz Celeron - with a 66 MHz bus outperforms a 400 MHz K62 with a 100 MHz bus ? You could explain away this REALITY - couldn't you Benjie ? Paul
