Go up one level in this thread


Look at the crafty SPECInt scores, the P4 is not a very impressive specimen
there, if you multiply the Clock of a P4 w 0.6 you get the frequency of a PIII
that is equivalent i.e. P4 1.4GHz ~ PIII 850 ,not that impressive. And that is
using the best motherboard and memory subsystem, if you skimp there you go under
the 50% mark. As for dual P4, they are not SMP capable, in fact the current P4
and motherboard will be phased out this year. Sorry, not upgradable according to
Intel. And the 1.7 Ghz P4 is roundly whupped by a 1.33 Ghz Athlon in almost all
situations.
