Your first sentence hit the nail on the head, and My statements back it up to boot there is no clean adding or subtracting to compare any of the Server ratings with those programs on the slower hardware on the SSDF list I tried this and it doesn't work and the reason being exactly what you stated in your second sentence. But i guess the question still is what figures are going to remain constant for doubling or tripling hardware in matches against humans and is a dual going to be the 1.7x faster it's supposed to be? Well i do know one thing there is no formula that anyone can come up with that will prove to me that a dual 2Ghz machine isn't faster than a single 2ghz machine. Now if people mean to compare something like a Dual 1Ghz with a single 1.7Gz then there's a comparison to make then you've got to figure is the Dual going to be a xeon or a regular P3 and what about the 1.7 will the p4 at equal clock speed be it's equal the answer for that is no the P4 is the only cpu that comes close to an 833Mhz DEC Alpha. My point there are way too many variables and unless everybody used product x the results should always be different. this probably explains some match results. thankyou If Christope
