Hello. I have a fairly slow machine and want to upgrade. I have heard and seen results showing that AMD is better than intel , and i'm not just talking about the Athlon. To get to the point which ZD Benchmark would one look at? All the regular run of the mill ZD Benchmarks shows that the Intel processors should be faster but it isn't so if you look at Test Suites like the results at Rebel's homepage. Would you look at Business Winstone99? CPUMark99? FPUWinMark? 3DWinMark? Photoshop Twirl? High End Winstone????not to sound repetitive(but i do hehe) at rebel's page for instance (this has probably been mentioned here by others but not discussed in depth) AMD K6-2 300 0:14 1:01 1:40 2544 Pentium II 333 0:14 1:06 1:47 2538 Pentium II 400 0:12 0:53 1:27 2550 Pentium II Xeon 400 0:09 0:47 1:17 2556 AMD K6-2 400 0:09 0:46 1:16 2557 Pentium II 450 0:11 0:50 1:21 2554 Pentium II Xeon 450 0:09 0:45 1:13 2558 AMD K6-2 450 0:09 0:43 1:10 2560 AMD K6-3 450 0:07 0:36 1:00 2566 Pentium III 500 0:09 0:44 1:12 2557 AMD K6-2 500 0:08 0:40 1:04 2564 How is a K6-2 450 faster than a Pentium II Xenon 450!!!!! I missed the ZD Benchmark for that one i guess. Maybe soomeone can clear this up for me I would really appreciate it. Thank You http://www.rebel.nl/bench.htm
