PIV or T-Bird

[hojl]

I am only interested in pure number crunching power C++ codes. So I think CPU speed and memory bandwidth is the only thing I care about.
Should I buy a pIV 1.7 or the fastest t-bird 1.3 I think

If you really want number crunching prowess then wait for the desktop Palomino(i.e. Athlon 4).

yeah? okay new question. PIV or Palomino.
What is better at number crunching. Also when the palomino comes out is it going to be 1.7+ gigahtz?

No problemo.
Without Anandtech, you may have very well missed half of your "geek" life.
