Thank You./william. It depends on the program, but I did some simple test with a (simple) program of mine, and the results were something like: Control: Athlon 700 mhz Thunderbird @ 1ghz : 65% faster (note clock is 43% faster) PIII 600: 9% slower (note clock is 14% slower) So mhz for mhz, the Athlon was outperformed. I measured "faster" and "slower" by dividing the Athlon nps into the delta nps. I don't recall the exact numbers. YMMV. I'm sure part of that is due to cache, and this program was very small and didn't use hash. -- James
