AMD has given the Palominos their 1500 plus etc. names, and not used the clock speeds of the processors, to move away from direct comparisons with Intel processor speeds. In spite of this, I think the Palomino (Athlon XP) series will be the best thing for chess software and for the great majority of software. Their integer performance is simply great. I'm planning to get one of those with a VIA KT266A motherboard. The clock speeds of the chips are: XP 1500 - 1.33GHz XP 1600 - 1.4GHz XP 1700 - 1.47GHz XP 1800 - 1.53GHz Regards, Alvaro Cardoso
