P4 supports SSE2, which gives a huge boost for Prime95. Athlon XP doesn't. I wonder when/if Prime95 will ever be optimized for AMD64, though -- ATM it sounds like a much more viable architecture to "take over the world" than IA64 ever did. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
