A few hours ago, I sent to a programmer my own list, based on the SSDF scale:

P200MMX            Test     SSDF     Diff

Tiger 11.75 32MB   2602
N732 128MB         2598
CM6K 128MB         2591
CM6K 16MB          2591     2577      14
F532 128MB         2590
H732 192MB         2584     2572
F532 46MB          2579     2575       4
N99a 128MB         2574
F503 46MB          2566     2566       0
N99a 46MB          2562     2567      -5
H701 63MB          2556     2570     -14
J5 128MB           2538
J5 46MB            2538     2549     -11
C166 128MB         2537
R9 60MB            2524     2525      -1
R10b 60MB          2524
C1615 128MB        2524
S3 128MB           2497
W2K 192MB          2494
M8 60MB            2492     2496      -4
G6 192 MB          2489

Average difference = -2

________________________________________________

PIII-500           Test     SSDF     Diff

F532 192MB         2674     2681      -7
N732 192MB         2666
H732 192MB         2657     2646      11
J5 192MB           2611     2626     -15
C16.18 192MB       2587

Average difference = 3.7

As you can see, so far on the PIII-500 I tested only CB programs too, and this
for 2 reasons:

- they are strong
- they are easy to test with test sets

It makes me laugh (sort of) to see these suspicions based on that. By the way,
CB didn't send me any hardware either. Pity. :)
