First of all very much thank you for your interesting tournaments!

As you know SSDF are going to upgrade in the near future and we have to take a
decision in march or so. Do you have any figures on the speed increase for
programs on the P2-400 vs P200MMX. Do you or others have any proposal for what
to choose (best for money). We can“t afford xeons or Kryotech-AMDs or a fragile
overclocked celeron. The P3-500 looks good but is rather expensive. What about
the new AMD. I hope someone can publish some tests with the new AMD if it is
better than Intel I think we could choose AMD. I hope we can have some facts in
this case before a decision in early march.
