He was comparing 1x450 machine to 2x800, which is nearly a 4x increase in speed, not only 2x. I can imagine this gaining 2 plies...Maybe even 3 if I stretch it. Not only will the clock speed of the processors be faster, the 800s are probably using the Coppermine core also, which the 450 is not. The 800 may have better memory/bus/cache speed too, which will also help. On the other hand, I do think Vincent might be exaggerating a bit, as he is prone to do.
