Where do you come up with this BS?

I told you exactly my experience of writing for OOO and non-OOO procs. Do you actually read what's posted or do you just replay the party line? I stated, and I will state again, that coding for fp-intensive operations is much easier on the Athlon because the proc takes care of the micro-level optimization.

Non-OOO are a royal pain. IMHO they have no place in big-end machines because the results are so unpredictable.

One butterfly flap of the wings and the run time goes to hell.
