Genius3 was rated about 2410 on P90 by SSDF. Add >another 90 to scale to P200/MMX and you see that G3 and MCP7 are very close, and >that's what your match seems to indicate. OK, if one adds 90 points. But it was not what one could have expected because the jump from 486/66->P90 was less than 60 points! I'd have expected 50 pts which makes 2460 and 166MMX reduce max. to 2480 (MCP) and therefore a close win for MCP. If you add 90 pts (!) for Genius3 P90->200MMX, it would be higher rated than Genius5 in SSDF. :-))) (I know, only 4 points but not as worse as one could expect by the huge version number difference that should indicate major changes).
