Not on the basis of internal clock rate! Those two processors are vastly different under the covers. You CAN'T use GHz numbers to compare unlike processors -- period. (BTW, that's why AMD can make competitive chips with slower clock rates. But due to PHBs and others naively comparing GHz, AMD gives their chips names that vaguely relate to the competition's clock rates.) -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
