Chipsets can be very important. But the scores are from high performance platforms submitted to the SPEC.org. So I would say that you must have done something wrong when measuring. Like running some background tasks. Or used one of the number of substandard VIA chipsets. The numbers I quote are valid. Especially since the IPC (Instructions Per Clock) is higher on the Athlon CPU. Or to put it in plain english. Your test results do not compare what the massive majority of other testers measure. Another datum that shows this is that a 1GHz PIII has almost the same running time that a 1.7GHz P4. And Athlon 1.2GHz is even faster. So you can see that things do not mesh with your bold proclamations. Go to www.spec.org and look at the SPEC2000CPU the integer section. MvH Dan Andersson
