Hello, I did a small comparision between 1 Ghz FCPGA cpu mounted on a slot1 motherboard Asus P3v4x with a converter stepping cCo. It has 133Mhz 2-2-2 SDRAM I compared with my OWN slot1 dual 800PIII-cumine bx supermicro motherboard. In my motherboard there is only 100Mhz 3-3-3 SDRAM. At those huge speeds of processors SDRAM makes a big difference! HOWEVER, when i ran the same version with the same amount of hashtables (40mb for this test) and also on the 1 Ghz machine, then the difference was ONLY 9% speed. So the 1Ghz machine WAS ONLY 9% faster as a single 800Mhz of mine. Now we can complain about the OS and about a few programs that ran on both machines, but those hardly eated system time. Speed difference on paper should be 30% of so, and there is a HUGE gap between 9% and 30%. What did INTEL do to the FCPGA processors, and do others have the same results there as i have here? Unless this speed difference was because of some mistake like a bug in the comparision at any point, i am VERY dissappointed!! Greetings, Vincent
