Patrick, are you at liberty to say which chipset you've had experience with? If not, I totally understand.

Giving Anand his due respects, i have to say that his tests are hardly what i would call professional...
The lack of bandwidth clearly shines through if you try to test the P4 for anything that it does better than the Athlon...
Of course, this is because of the lack of available bandwidth....
I am not saying that Anand is wrong in this case, i am just saying that he is making the same mistakes so many others have done... not using high bandwidth programs to check it out...
BTW, my stability tests are also my benchmarks, i do not use synthetic benchmarks, i have assembled three weeks of tests using tasks recorded from live situations, so i do believe that my benchmarks are pretty correct...
