The fast one were Tritons and the :slow one was based on SIS. The chipset is probably not the sole :cause of lower performance, but it is critical to good performance. Unless the five or six P133 systems are all by the same company, this is still not a fair comparison. What I want to see are benchmarks from two P133 systems with exactly the same configuration with the only difference being one using the P55TP4XE and the other using the P55SP4. That would be a fair comparison. Steve Tang
