To make things clear, I'm not asserting that their *benchmarks* are false (though I *do* wish they'd followed the ZD requirements of explicitly reporting all details of the testing - for all we know, on the DX2-50 test they had the machine set for no HD cache, 'mobile system' file system in the Performance settings, and high color, while on the AMD version they might have had a big cache, 'network server' set, and low-res graphics). I was expressing what John Kim has made more explicit, that the AMD chip will be 100mhz instead of 133mhz on this machine, except in the almost completely unlikely event that they've tweaked the machine's clock. BTW, the AMDchip can actually be safely overclocked to 160mhz (i.e., a 40mhz machine bus speed); I'm curently doing this on my home desktop (mainly used by my 3-year-old for games these days). - David
