That's the only reason that IBM and Co. have moved with the P-4. Tell me Torstein, exactly how many rating points to you expect to achieve with an AMD at 1.8Ghz over the P-4 at 2.0 Ghz? 30 pts. maybe? Also, for what the P-4 was designed for does an excellent job, I know I've seen a 1.4Ghz model and it's better than a P-III in most respects. I'm not saying the P-4 is faster or as fast as AMD in chess calculations but it's far from a "Primitive" CPU! Next year Intel will introduce the Northwood core starting at 2.2Ghz. The processor is still under developent and in the near future may outpace AMD even for chess programming. It's a brand new design, so Intel will continue to improve the processor. It's too early to say AMD is "Superior" in all respects. People hate Intel, they own 80% of the market! I own an IBM, people who didn't cut it down, people who knew something about IBM, other owners had a different story. IBM is a well made PC period. Intel does make quality processors, and you can take it to the bank:) Terry
