Thanks Slater - quite a * feat *, indeed! I know you must have put in your whole holiday weekend on this project. Not to mention the cost$ (no, let's not mention that :-) ), and sleep deprivation. Thanks Aaron - great input/feedback and counterpoint, and hospitality offered. Vincent, Dan, and so many others - also great discussion. The P4's superior performance in multimedia I expected. It's fine performance with Crafty was a pleasant surprise. Although P4 and Athlon CPU's will certainly change or be replaced down the road, I'm sure many members of CCC will remember the work and time that went into this test for quite a while. Not to mention the intersting benchmarks (no, no need to mention them :-) ). I recall when PCMag used to do bechmarking very easily - two part-time workers, two benches, a bunch of cards and drivers. In a very short time they had an entire lab, full staff, more equipt. than you could shake a stick at. The process took many times longer to complete, even with all this support. Once you start it, considering all the possible variables, (and any one of them could be very meaningful), it's a truly convoluted can of worms. Again, thanks Slater, and all. Cue the music, Mr. Williams... David
