I'm sorry, but in regards to 3d benching I do not rate Dothan at all, there is a saying too little, too late but in the case of Dothan it is too much, far far too late. Unless anyone knows of an SLi Asus 865/875 motherboard or that nvidia and Ati are going to cancel r520 or G70 ;)
Dothan will be the biggest flash in the pan there has ever been, I'm afraid, in regards to 3dmark, not becuse of itself but because it has a motherboard so old it is made of wood and bronze.
However,it is a good pointer to the future for Intel, but it will be sometime yet I think before the FX platform is threatened. At present it is better suited to running superpi.
I'm pretty sure k|ingp|n can grab 2001 though as a first and last hurragh for the chip ..good luck.
