Simple.  It is slower than a dual 2.8xeon box, yet it is AMD's latest.

That's all I said.  It is exactly what I meant.

Maybe.  My dual 2.8 is already out of date, of course.  dual 3.06's are
shipping with a 33% faster FSB.  But I commented on the potential for a
real 64 bit compiler.  But the 32 bit numbers don't excite me.
