I've done official testing for AMD using AMD's methods. This was when I was
working on the optimized Quake 3 dlls. They had me disable everything in the
bios. This means the test took a pretty large hit performance wise. Why? I asked
AMD the same thing. They responded with, "Intel doesn't think it's fair, so if
we set the bios timings to the fastest settings possible we'd have a large
lawsuit on our hands and AMD doesn't need that". If you need confirmation of
what I'm saying email me at speedycpu@attbi.com and I'll give you the contact
information to the guy at AMD and he'll verify everything I've said.

So, for a properly configured Athlon, my results are there and plain as day.
Like I said, run them yourself on the same systems I ran them on.
