yb,

I agree that 333 Mhz A64 must have the same IPC as 400 Mhz XP. Plus one more speed grade if the code will use extra registers (I hope Doom III will do that even on 32-bit windows).

Well, Hammer has SSE-2, so if programs such as Doom III use SSE-3, Hammer will have some advantage there over Athlon XP. But the extra registers of Hammer are not available for programs running in 32 bit mode, only 64 bit mode.
