Umm, which is the Intel compile?

Default one.
It is written in third line of message window after start.
Additional version (VC) is available since beta 7.

Yes, but there is nothing to say that VC != intel compile, so it's still a
source (sic) of confusion to the compile-challenged.... Ta, for the info.

Afaik Intel is manufacturer of compiler and not name of target platform :-)
Both compiler version should work with Athlon imo :-)

No, for the logical-challanged :-)

If you have two things and you have two, and only two names, and you know
that each thing has to have one unique name, and you know the unique name of
one of the things, the only logical name for the other thing is the only
name remaining because that will be the only unique name left to give the
other thing.  Thus, logic dictates that one of the compiles has the name
"VC" and one the name "Intel".

Good logic, but bad reality/semantics. I have a choice of two docs, one in
microsoft format, one not specified. One document identifies itself as a Word
document, therefore the other document must be the microsoft one.

In other words, I have no way of knowing that Intel's compiler isn't called VC.

  But everyone knows that VC (ie. Visual C++) is a compiler made by Microsoft,
while the Intel compiler is a compiler made by Intel. They are two totally
different programs and have nothing in common (except that they both compile
C/C++ programs).
  The Intel compiler can optimize better for modern PC processors than the VC
compiler can.

Hey, I won! (cultural bias - "everyone knows" - well I didn't). I'm almost sure
you're being ironic here. ;)

  My first sentence had a bit or irony. The rest didn't.
