And the benchmarks I have seen show no performance advantage over the Deschutes in a one-chip configuration. So I would think that the AMD chip is still the chip for ED to use until he does a parallel search with rebel. But you are right the PII and the Xeon is faster clock for clock running most programs, but not Rebel in dos. >and 4 of 'em would >be one fast machine.
