Two I'm strictly speaking about the Fritzmark, and it clearly showed superior perfomance! So no way is a P-4 at 1.7Ghz as slow as an Athlon at 1.2Ghz as it blew the doors off the 1.4Ghz Athlon. This is a FACT and I have no idea how there can be such large discrepancies! Maybe the P-4's you tested were not supported with the best ram and motherboards? This may be the crux of the problem, not using (PC800) RDRAM and a very high performance motherboard? The P-4 computer was manufactured by DELL with only the very best components. Terry
