and

DEll
p4 1.7
256 MB 133 sdram
geforce mx 400
40 GB ata 100
Dell mobo
350 Watt PSU

on sysmark 2001 scores were:
XP 2000+ = 1830

P4 1.7 = 2351

why is this?? everything on the AMD is faster I checked with sisoftware sandra and yet the P4 scores better

any input would be appreciated

Pentium has better optimizations for office work and content creation wich is what sysmark is for I believe.

Amd is more optimized for gaming.

Faster is not always the better. Pentium is good at certain things Amd is better at others.

Sysmark is owned by Intel. Of course their benchmark will be biased.

I was wondering that myself....in sysoftware sandra and a few other progs that I got all say that every single part of the AMD is superior right down to the CPU and sysmark got a better score. Just made no sense....thanks guys!!!

really amd rocks. eventhough a have a pentium cpu, i was beaten by my my friend's system. i have a willamette p4 1.5 and he got an athlon 1800+ which clocks as the same as my 1.5(~1.53). in all benchmark progs except sysmark, he greatly won and we can see the difference but intel can live longer and are very stable.
