Toms compares older nvidia drivers to the newer 12.01 Det drivers among a group of pentium IV systems. Seems the newer detonators do give a pretty nice performance increase, read the article to find out where the gains are.

Dual Palamino's and their instruction sets. Can you say SPEEEEEEEEED? Here's a quote from the article.
"The Athlon H-Series includes SSE+, which may or may not be called 3DNow! Pro, and extensions to the instruction set include Intel Screaming Sindie 1 and 2 single and double precision floating point instructions. AMD will continue to support 3DNow, even in Hammer, when it arrives."
"Preliminary benchmarketing seen by The Inquirer show an 80 per cent boost in Photoshop 5.5 and 6.0 lighting effects, and the 3D StudioMax Heidi Renderer is something like 34 per cent up." -Inquirer

Palamino to be named Athlon 4...to justapose it against its competition the Pentium IV. If you can even call the Pentium IV competition...
