What I want to see doesen't matter.... :) They wanted to show that their CPU ist competitive. The "fastest computer on the planet" was maybe a bit to much. ;) It all depends what you want. I try to avoid binaries for Intel, that's why I use Unix/Linux and gcc3.3. GCC runs on many systems, but it's not so "specialized" like Intels compilers. IMHO Apple did a good joice supporting gcc and not ceating their own compiler. Developers will appreciate this because it make it easy for them to port software. regards Andreas
