I know most people on this list right now seem to prefer the Athlon. I agree that the Athlon FPU kicks the P4's butt. On the other hand the stream benchmarks for the P4 with the RAMBUS memory subsystem are very impressive(almost 2.5 time faster than an ATHLON w/ PC133.... I haven't seen any STREAM benchmarks for the DDR but my feeling is that the P4 is still gonna come out way on top). So my question is would any of you build a P4 cluster if your application was bottlenecked by the memory subsytem.(ex. Fluid Dynamics)? Any comments? Scott Shealy
