I'd like to address one point: when you compare a celeron with a pentium two your argument is fine. When you compare AMD and Intel the main issue is not cache is the core that interprets the asm instructions. So even if they had the same cache (sizes and speed) they would produce different results. It is well known that Intel chips are faster on floating point while AMD is smarter at scheduling and probably also with integers. So a program that uses almost only integers, like a chess program, should like AMD cpus, but some (like Fritz i guess) might have been tweaked a lot fot Intel core. regards Franz
