I've already mentioned that! Please tell me what rating gains are acutually achieved with the Athlon. I guessed 30pts. so is that a fair guess? Please answer the question. I hope to buy a new PC next year sometime, and I excpect I'll buy an IBM, and if they stick with the P-4 then I may have no choice unless AMD is back in business with them.
